Covent Garden Turandot

We have tried (and failed) to unravel the intricacies in the proliferation of companies involved with HD simulcasts into theaters globally. Some of the major players — NCM Fathom Events, MPRM for Arts Alliance, Mr Wolf, and Screenvision — are all involved with the beginning of Royal Opera House productions.

Starting with Turandot this Thursday, Covent Garden performances can be seen in hundreds of theaters; locally, in the Clay Theater, among others. To search for theaters by ZIP code, use the Screenvision website.

This is the Andrei Serban production, featuring Lise Lindstrom (Senta in The Flying Dutchman in the San Francisco Opera production opening tonight) in the title role. In a cast including Marco Berti, Eri Nakamura and Raymond Aceto, Lindstrom's Turandot is the 100th performance in the role.
