I recently chatted with a woman who excitedly shared the
benefits of attending 'LIVE in HD' (Metropolitan Opera) in movie
theaters. I generally listen to broadcast over KUSC Classical Radio but
have not seen a production in High Definition. I wondered if 'LIVE in
HD' may present an opportunity for MusicUNTOLD to promote opera and
establish greater identity/awareness within the African American
community of African American opera stars. A telephone call to the
Metropolitan Opera asking if any African Americans have been featured
in one or more 'Live in HD' shown in U.S. Theaters. The Metropolitan
employee, after considerable time, was unable to offer one name. So, i
asked about the upcoming 'LIVE in HD' schedule and the answer was still
negative although one or more African Americans are scheduled to perform
at the Metropolitan Opera.
