The Metropolitan Opera: Live in High-Definition

Latchis Theatre

Fall 2010

Greetings!

If you've pined for opera close to home, if you wished the Latchis would bring in the Met, if you wondered if you'd ever see the day: pine, wish and wonder no more!

Brattleboro Arts Initiative and the Brattleboro Music Center announce a special joint venture to bring the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts to the Latchis Theatre.We will host the 11-opera season live on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m., and show Encore presentations on Sundays at 11:00 a.m.  This means opera lovers in Brattleboro will be able to experience performances at the same time as opera lovers in Lincoln Center itself, as they are simultaneously transmitted by satellite.

To do this, we will install satellite, sound, and projection equipment in Theatre 3 on the main level.  The budget for all this gear is $30,000 and we are raising funds to meet the goal for the Fall season.

We have already raised $15,000. With $15,000 to go, BAI and the BMC ask for support! 

To support this effort, please send your check to Brattleboro Arts Initiative, 50 Main Street, Brattleboro, Vermont 05301, clearly indicating that the donation is for the Met.  Or donate securely online at www.brattleboroarts.org.

 

Cheers,

Gail Nunziata
