It is day 39 of lockdown in Los Angeles.

As a Digital Marketing Agency, we’re used to living our lives online. Yet even we have seen how the Coronavirus has stretched the internet’s capacity; making it truly a place for all things.

Here are some of the exciting ways other organizations are using this downtime time to connect, entertain, educate, unite, and prepare to see you again soon. 

OPERA SINGERS IN YOUR HOME

How many times have you dressed in your best for the theatre and wished you could enjoy the sights and sounds of your favorite performances from home? Well, you just might find that life on lockdown isn't all bad because - now you can.

Both The LA Opera and The Metropolitan Opera are livestreaming performances online for free. Catch The Mets performances before they end on May 3rd. And, visit The LA Opera’s Facebook Page for weekly LAO at Home schedules. Or, catch all of the incredible performances you already missed here.

VIRTUALLY A PHYSICAL CHALLENGE

Gone are the days of taking the stairs, lunchtime lapping the streets, or parking in the farthest stall to get your steps in. Still, we are constantly reminding our team of the importance of staying healthy during quarantine; even though all of your favorite places to relax are just a few feet away. Here’s a fun fitness challenge that you can participate in, in the privacy of your own home.

QUESTIONING THE FUTURE OF FINANCES?

With the entire world shutdown it’s no surprise that the global economy isn’t doing very well. As looming uncertainty increases over where we go from here, Consensus Distributed is hosting a global conference to discuss exactly that - "what does all of this mean for the future of money?"
