Hi Sarah,
You can find our airdates by clicking the “About the Series” tab above. For more specific broadcast times, you can hover over our schedule tab above and select whether you want to search for Great Performances or Great Performances at the Met. Please note however that the PBS scheduling widget can only see 2 weeks into the future, so it’s best used around the national feed airdate listed in our schedule to determine your local PBS affiliate’s broadcast time.
We also encourage you to find us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter at @GPerfPBS where we announce all upcoming programming in a more responsive environment.
We hope you find what you’re looking for!
Thanks,
GP Team
