Thinking Outside the Concert Hall
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the LA Philharmonic “next year will transmit live performances of three of its concerts to more than 450 high-definition-equipped movie theaters throughout the United States and Canada.”
This is a fantastic development. Such delivery has been an apparent success for the Met, and the Berliner Philharmoniker is doing something similar online with their Digital Concert Hall.
What do you think? Have you seen an opera in a movie theater? Is this a good way to expand audiences for classical music?
This news is also quite related to the most recent “question of the week.”
