NonPop

There’s a new performing arts video site that just started. I’ve found some nifty documentaries and concert films that are recent and back catalog. The video and sound quality is quite impressive.

Launched April 30th, it’s streaming its full contents in lovely quality for free until May 15th. Make sure you have your Flash plugin updated.

Medici.tv

Edit: It appears you can also purchase videos for download. Prices are in euros. I’m not sure about DRM restrictions.
