If eight opera moviecasts were not enough for you...
La Scala, the opera house from Milan, Italy which is sometimes
considered the most prestigious opera house in the world, is
launching its own series of opera moviecasts. These will not
be done live; these will be previously recorded performances,
transmitted in high-definition to movie theaters at flexible
times.
The series opens on December 5 (confirm date!!!) with a 2006
performance of AIDA, the infamous production in which Roberto
Alagna walked off the stage. This moviecast will be of the night
when Alagna did NOT walk out.
La Scala is starting with 56 theaters,
roughly half of what the Met started with. Curiously,
seven of the 56 are in Michigan! The closest one to Ann Arbor
is the Canton Emagine multiplex; there are also participating
theaters in Lansing and Novi. I have no information on
ticket prices.
La Scala is going to do seven moviecasts, so that means there
will be **15** available between December 2007 and June 2008.

The two links have differing date information for the AIDA!!!
