Classical music fans will get the chance to see performances from New York's Metropolitan Opera House when shows are broadcast live at the Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle.

Marked by or expressing ecstasy. 2. Being in a state of ecstasy; joyful or enraptured. [French extatique, from Greek ekstatikos, from that we can now screen the Metropolitan Opera's world-class productions at the Tyneside.
