An interesting event coming up, new media enabling the opera to open up to new audiences.
An article caught my eye about leading opera houses in the uk collaborating on a digital campaign to reach new audiences. A live event that audiences will be able to watch from the comfort of their computer screens. Another example of new technology mixing with age old traditions, continuing to enable people to access information whenever and as conveniently as possible.
Is this the future of the theatre experience?
I had a quick look for a link to an online version of the article but couldn't find one i'm afraid. It's page 5 in the National Arts section.
The event will be live on theguardian.com/classical 2-6pm on 10th May.

There is something similar to this with festivals, you can watch acts whilst they play from the comfort of home, are you able to watch the entire thing for free?
