"Cosi Fan Tutte," a Mozart classic, will be broadcast live in high definition to 2,000 movie theaters around the globe at 12:55 p.m. local time Saturday.
"The reach of the Metropolitan Opera is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger," de Niese said.
"It's also very important that we give an opportunity to people who may never make a trip to New York to see what The Metropolitan Opera can do by bringing the opera to them," the soprano added.
