The Royal Opera House of Covent Garden has announced that they will begin showing their operas in movie theaters in North America, according to a report in today's New York Times.
The program, similar to the Metropolitan Opera's Live in HD series, will show performances from the Royal Opera House and the Royal Shakespeare Company at select movie theaters. The series is presented in conjunction with Opus Arte, the company that releases ROH performances on DVD.
The series opens on September 10th with a broadcast of the ROH's production of Mozart's Cosà fan tutte. Other opera productions and performances on the schedule are still TBA.
