First in the series was Mozart's The Magic Flute as interpreted by Julie Taymor (Lion King) and James Lupine. Fabulous. Multiple cameras used most professionally.
Best news: the theater was jam packed -- even at $18 ticket prices. Only theater in the state doing it so far, but I see this as a huge step forward in the partnership of the arts with technology. It can only grow and spread. The possibilities are endless!
Amazing: watching the best opera in America -- live -- and eating popcorn. How cool is that? 4 or 5 more operas coming up, and that's just through April. Hooray for Tinseltown.
