A very cool idea for a set - but only if it is working. Also, people who are working on these sets - the opera singers - are going to have to get with the program better if they are going to really pull off making opera accessible and modern for the average opera goer. If you have people falling off the stage and sets not working properly, they're hardly going to be willing to pay $250 a seat for a 5 hour long performance.
Is opera just the wrong place for this technological infiltration? Is it best to just stick with the classical sets and singers? Right now, the spectacle is becoming the technology, not the artistry of the singers.
