In 2011, the CD sector was still doing well in the world, copying, and sharing discs illegally on torrent sites meant its competition. Almost fifteen years later, another landscape presents itself: the CD industry is close to collapse and exponentially rising streaming providers are high in the sky... In 2019, the OPERA began distributing its Hungarian opera recordings through market distributors. Thus, there are already 26 titles available from the major providers (Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Deezer, etc.). This will be the path of all legitimate disks. Existence in the cloud does not generate significant income, but at the same time it enables an immediate and high-quality enjoyment of Hungarian music to all Hungarians and non-Hungarians everywhere in the world. The OPERA also aims to make all its recordings available in a so-called master quality, which is better than the CD standard with higher sampling rate on Tidal, for instance.
