i know its a beautiful day outside, but act 1 of puccini’s madama butterfly was gorgeous, even in a movie theatre. the cameras actually also follow the actors off the stage live where they are interviewed by the host backstage. very different experience. i like it. i can see what i couldnt see from theatre seats. but id still like to be there to hear it live.
