How to watch: The Met is streaming 'Lincoln in the Bardo' for free this weekend
www.timeout.com/newyork: For anyone who's dreamt of going to The Metropolitan Opera, sitting in those seats as the lights dim and the chandeliers ascend, we've got something for you. It's not quite front-row seats, but it's the next-best view: from anywhere you want!

I read this book in English class at some point in highschool, and my main review of it was that it really read like a stage play. There are so many characters in this book and it was somewhat of a challenge to remember who all of them are, so I’m glad it got adapted into a play. Also all the puppets are made by the guy who made and voiced Rocky in the hit movie Project Hail Mary. I feel like the magical realism of this bardo serves itself really well for a bunch of cool and crazy puppets. I also really hope there's a bunch of people on wires for when they ascend out of the bardo. I’m glad the Met is making this story accessible to everyone for free this weekend, because its a really interesting story about breaking out of grief and accepting change despite the fear of the unknown.
