Book Presentation:
Live transmissions of diverse stage performances (opera, theatre, ballet, etc.) have become common currency since the digital transition made such a thing possible. Nevertheless, it appears that there is a mixture of the original performance on stage and its capture projected onto the big screen, something which can give rise to confusion between two shows of a quite different nature. This book, drawing in particular on the case of the Metropolitan Opera of New York, will attempt to answer a few of the questions raised by this new phenomenon, the “live transmission,” which has blurred the contours of standard movie theatre programming.
