Opera Simulcasting Goes 3-D

France will witness the world’s first 3-D opera simulcast on June 2: a performance of Mozart’s Don Giovanni transmitted live from the Opéra de Rennes to an auditorium in Rennes’s city hall and to one or more cinemas in Paris. Meanwhile, there will be 2-D simulcasts in Rennes (indoors in hi-def as well as outdoors) and Brest as well as on the web sites ville-rennes.fr and francemusique.com.
