I'm going to offer just two (we could be here a very long time ... ). One is musical, one is theatrical - it's not a rule but it would be nice to see variety 
Up first, possibly the most frightening yet marvellous musical performance from Fiona Apple, performing a Elvis Costello toon with the man himself. I use the word advisably, it is .. spellbinding:

My second selection is the FULL 1983 BBC adaptation of young ‘arold’s Betrayal (Jeremy Irons, Ben Kingsley and Patricia Hodge). Screenplay by the great man himself:
That’s the standard we’re looking for folks. Please have at it …

Seth Rudetsky has started what looks like a daily YouTube broadcast/recording featuring different Broadway performers. Very informal with discussion back and forth and the performer singing to some piano tracks Seth recorded.
#1 Kelli O'Hara
.
For some reason the first 18 minutes of this are silent, so start at 18:40 as some in the comments suggest.
#2, Judy Kuhn
So generous of he and his husband James to do this and of all the guests who will appear. The effort is to benefit the Actors Fund.

There's already a thread on it, but the Met's Carmen today was super, available free through MetOpera till earlier this evening. It's a different opera every day.

Great thread.
I did post on another thread and in these dark times where people maybe so desperate they are actually in grave danger of watching repeats of the Weakest Link on Challenge TV. It would be awesome if the National put on a broadcasting platform NT Live performances, I would be actually happy to pay something to watch that, even better though if it was on the BBC, especially if I had to self isolate, makes it more bearable.

malvolio was just thinking the same thing - would love it if NT Live could stream stuff and would be more than happy to pay. I am hoping to improve my German during lockdown with help from Walter Presents - loads of 'box sets' of foreign language tv programmes with subtitles to watch for free: www.channel4.com/collection/walter-presents

Screenplay by the great man himself: I have a massive negative reaction to lady bits  but for some odd reason I've been utterly in love with Patricia Hodge since I was about 5 years old. Cant explain it, just am. So thanks. |

Not always very high value in terms of ticket yield or donations

I should finally have time to see watch this now! Though not this evening. I'm in the first interval of a Walkure from Vienna at the moment. |

There's a whole thread here on musicals you can watch on YouTube (no bootlegs, but some of "dubious legality"). Enjoy!
