Will Opera's Future Be on the Computer?

ClassicalTV is betting $10 million the answer is "yes."

ClassicalTV has partnered up with major classical institutions around the world to present full-length videos of high-profile performances on computers. They're betting that fans will gladly substitute the grandeur of these operas for the reduced price of seeing these operas. That reduced price? Free, although a short commercial will run before each selection plays.

Call me a luddite but I'm just not sure how we;; a 3-hour opera would translate on a computer screen. And isn't part of seeing an opera actually going to an opera?

Still for those rare gems, even we might be able to be convinced.
