Straight up doesn't work on the newest Chromecast. Connects, hiccups a bit like it's going to start streaming, and then does nothing. You can't even disconnect from the non-stream in the app - it just displays "no media selected". Staggering that they charge fifteen bucks a month for this service and then let their Android app get over two years out of date.

This app does not seem to have Chromecast support, i.e., it's not Chromecast-enabled to allow for streaming to a television (hooked up to a sound system) without loss of video or audio quality. Who wants to watch an opera on a phone? The Berliner Philharmoniker figured out how to provide this feature for its Digital Concert Hall years ago. I hope the Met adds this very soon. If I'm wrong about this, I apologize.

The selection of operas is great (although I wish the audio quality was better on modern HD recorded operas). But the app is pretty bad. Every time I open it, it requires me to login (other apps know how to store credentials for a period of time). There is no way to send the app to background in order to keep listening to music while doing other things on my Android phone or tablet . The app stops playing, as soon as I send it to background. And the screen has to stay on for the same reason, which drains the battery.
