3D GOES TO THE OPERA STAGE

Sky Arts is at it again, this time round. In its quest to give a unique and new experience to the audience each time, it is now looking at getting a live opera to the very TV sets of the viewers’ living room. Only this time round, it is going to be in 3D. The 3D revolution picked up big time and the ones getting a glimpse of a 3D viewing session becoming fans.

The catch here is that 3D TV and other related products and services come expensive and not one bit cheap. Then again there are the critics of 3D Format as of now who claim that the picture quality is still dim, the heavy glasses feel like a burden and not to mention the fact that they are all the more expensive. But all that notwithstanding, none may deny the fact that 3D TV viewing is definitely the platform of tomorrow.

The broadcasters, the TV studios have full confident in the platform in spite of it being the heydays yet.

Sky Arts will collaborate with the ENO and the stage production of Donizetti’s Lucrezia Borgia may be seen through the 3D eyes (read glasses) by the Sky 3D viewers from their homes. The slated date for the airing of the show is said to be on the 23rd February. Then again there are cinemas houses which will also be airing the stage show on their screens in 3D.

Thus people who don’t own a 3D TV set may not be sad over missing out on the event. Right from getting 3D to new audience to showing the younger lot or the generation of today, a piece of genuine and traditional art in 3D is bound to create some exciting conclusions.

John Berry, artistic director, ENO, spoke enthusiastically of this coming together with Sky Arts. He spoke of how this is nothing short of an ambition to take the opera art to a totally different and new plane and make the experience unique and exhilarating all the more. The opera will have director Mike Figgis at the helm of things. He was the one who also directed the acclaimed film Leaving Las Vegas.
