The Exterminating Angel - MetLive Broadcast run time#1
Posted: 11/18/17 at 10:21am

I am planning on seeing The Exterminating Angel at my local movie theatre today. The movie theatre's website says that the runtime is 2 hr 55 min, but the Met website says that the opera runs about 2 hr 30 min. Will there be additional content included in the broadcast? I have to work after the broadcast and need to know what time it'll be over.

TIA

The broadcasts tend to start late, and the intermissions tend to run long, so an additional 20 minutes added to the run time sounds about right.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Whereas I honestly have been attended a movie theatre MET event I DO know that they have backstage content during the intermissions as well as before the curtain rises but I do not know if those extra 25 minutes are solely pre-curtain, post-ending or a combination of both.

2:50 is where it should have finished up this afternoon. The house didn’t open until about 12:45 and there was definitely a long intermission.

Quite the interesting afternoon.

The house opened on time, it's the auditorium that wasn't open until 12:45pm.  The intermission was only a few minutes longer today than it normally is for this production.  Not sure why you think the show should have ended at 2:50pm today.  That would make it an hour fifty, it's normally around two hours forty.

My typo. It ended it 3:50 or at least that’s when I left my seat. And thank you on the semantics. The doors to the “auditorium” didn’t open until 12:45.
