Who is streaming plays, operas, dance and music performances online?


The closure of theatres and concert halls around the world has led some venues and organisations to stream selected works online.

Please post links to the companies or organisations making performances available online during the lockdown.

Here are two from the UK:

National Theatre (London):

The are streaming productions every Thursday. Unfortunately, they are only making them available for a week before taking them down. Last week they showed the play 'One Man, Two Guvnors'. Next Thursday (9 April) they are showing a stage production of Jane Eyre:
