The Metropolitan Opera in New York recently announced it has canceled its fall season, meaning there will be no more live performances with audiences for 2020. Its chief general manager Peter Gelb said, “It’s transparently obvious that social distancing and grand opera cannot go together.” This sent shock waves throughout the arts world.

Live venues all across the U.S. are abandoning hope they will be open again in 2020 with many theaters, music venues, orchestras, and dance companies shredding their calendars in despair.
