Microspace Communications Corporation (Microspace) has been selected by Emerging Pictures to deliver the 2009 season opening night performance of “Don Carlo” live in HD from the world-renowned La Scala opera house in Milan, Italy.
The event will mark the first live satellite-delivered opera from La Scala, considered one of the world's most famous opera houses. Microspace will deliver the event live in HD and multi-channel surround sound to selected theaters December 7 at 12:00PM EST (6:00 p.m. in Milan) to six states including California, Maryland, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.
La Scala’s Opening Night is widely considered one of European society’s most important cultural events. Italy’s elite are joined in attendance by international heads of state, royalty, VIPs, and the world’s most ardent opera fans. Last year’s Opening Night, tickets soared to US $2800 each, and it is anticipated that this year’s performance of “Don Carlo” will command even a higher premium, as this opera is widely considered to be Giuseppe Verdi’s greatest work. The digital cinema presentation is a collaboration between New York based Emerging Pictures and RAI Trade.
The Microspace network of installed theater sites across the U.S., Canada and Mexico gives content providers such as Emerging Pictures the option of delivering live alternative content. Microspace offers the world’s only full-time, dedicated, digital cinema satellite system to distribute motion pictures as well as live performances.
