Some clever producer is going to figure out a way to do this for Broadway shows and make a buck or two.

Posted: 1/10/07 at 4:43pmThey started doing this in San Francisco last year. They have done it at Golden Gate Park and also the park in front of City hall, both outdoors and just did one at Stanford University in the theater there. I think it's brilliant. I live next to City Hall here - and the night the Opera was simulcast it was packed! Very fun.

Posted: 1/10/07 at 6:40pmThey advertised this before Dreamgirls, I was so excited. I think it is a wonderful idea. And it makes opera seem a little less threatening to those who haven't tried it before.

Posted: 1/10/07 at 7:05pmCertainly affordable. Seems a worthwhile technique to try and attract future audiences to opera.
Rest in peace, Iflitifloat.

The series will begin with an abridged, family-oriented, English-language version of Mozart's "The Magic Flute."
NO, thank you......what IS the point?
family oriented? What the F does that mean?
