Comments on: Met's La Rondine Marred by Technical Glitch http://medicine-opera.com/2009/01/mets-la-rondine-marred-by-technical-glitch/ Comments and reviews of opera, music, and medicine Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bruno de Magalhães http://medicine-opera.com/2009/01/mets-la-rondine-marred-by-technical-glitch/#comment-104 Bruno de Magalhães Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:12:25 +0000 http://medicine-opera.com/?p=1199#comment-104 Thank you for the critic. I always knew the opera quite well - and loved those comparisons you use to explain the story. Although I still couldn't hear the complete performance, I've already been able to hear some parts of the telecast in YouTube. Now, I'm informed. In Lisbon, Portugal, it just wasn't organized. There was no Met Live. If you go to Met's website and search for buy tickets, Portugal doesn't appear at all. If you know why, I would love reply to duque.magalhaes@hotmail.com Thank you for the critic. I always knew the opera quite well – and loved those comparisons you use to explain the story.

Theater mgmt was in touch with NYC immediately and was told that the problem was in the transmission, which I believe because the video coming attractions were at full sound. Possible a stage wireless microphone pickup problem, as the hall sound still came through but the hand-held microphones during the backstage interviews were totally inaudible.

The first act came through in sepia tones so we never got to appreciate the true colours of the set and costumes. It truly was a disappointment from a technical point of view. Fortunately, as we all filed out of the theatre after the performance, we were given a coupon for free admission to the next HD broadcast. That helped to soften the blow.

What a disappointment to miss so much of the opera, and especially the interviews with Alagna and Gheorghiu....We absolutely love the opportunity to experience these Met operas live. (Thanks for your article to let us know that we weren't the only ones who experienced the problem.)
