It was announced yesterday (and today by the New York Times) that the New York State Theater will remain dark for the 2008-2009 season of the New York City Opera. The NY Times article says that allllll those singers will NOT be unemployed for a whole year, there will be various concert performances at different locations, rather than full scale productions.
Renovations for the City Opera (courtesy of the NY Times):
- a larger and movable orchestra pit (said to improve acoustics??)
- new stage lighting
- an audiovisual system
- refurbished seats and new carpeting
- upgraded box office and lobby
- removable sound system: acoustical paneling
Okay, sounds good to me, but will it all sound good in the end? We have yet to find out!!!
Happy Listening!!!!! =)
