Classical Music for the Big Screen
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-01-13/classical-music-big-screen
Classical music fans can now enjoy live simulcasts of the Metropolitan Opera and the Los Angeles Philharmonic in movie theaters across the country. But purists worry that close-ups and surround sound are affecting who gets the plum roles in these productions. We explore the differences between watching live and watching on the big screen.

As someone who lives in Midland Texas - and loves Opera - I think these broadcasts are wonderful. It is the only way way I have to see these performances. Full scale well done Opera perfromances are expensive and involved - not everywhere can do them - this gives so many more a chance to experience it - and it only makes me want to go see one live all the more!
