Live Streaming of Verdi’s Otello from the Royal Opera House
I wondered about the
techniques used in the live streaming of opera when I wrote about Il Trovatore (February 2017). I felt that close up camera work often
did the performers no favours and detracted from the staging – an opera’s
audience is supposed to see each part in the context of the whole, as presented
by the director, set designer and choreographer on the stage.
