Odeon cinemas are to show productions from Glyndebourne  .....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/6227878.stm

Obviously a far cry from the real thing, but probably a step in the right direction?  Will cinema sound be tolerable?

Sadly not that near (well over a 500 mile round-trip to either Manchester or Harrogate): the sound should be good when it leaves the auditorium, but heavens knows what will happen once it reaches the cinemas: down to the individual operators and their experience of the sound of live classical music (or lack of it), I fear; doubtless some will be tempted to play it far too loud and with heavily emphasised lower bass, just the same as they tend to for everything else they show....

good value for money

shame on bbc 4 for not broadcasting EVERYTHING that the ROH do, considering the amount of public money that ROH get, it is, a, SCANDAL !

Sadly a long way from me too, I would certainly give it a try if it came to Plymouth - even that would be a 100 mile round trip  Shocked
I would love to go to Glyndebourne one of these days....I'm on their "returns"  e-mail list, so may be impetuous if I ever feel rich enough!
You are so good at pointing these things out, Lord Byron.
Thankyou x Jan x
