The Metropolitan Opera has revealed the venue locations for its 2007-08 season of high-definition simulcasts into movie theaters.
There will be eight operas included in the 2007-08 series, up from six last season. National CineMedia has tripled the number of U.S. theaters offering the simulcasts this year to well over 300, and in Canada, Cineplex Odeon (which cited the opera presentations as having a considerable positive influence on its bottom line) has more than doubled its participating venues from Quebec to British Columbia. (Empire Theatres is offering the broadcasts at eight movie houses in the Maritime Provinces.).
Other countries with participating theaters include Australia, Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden and the U.K. (As of today, only Denmark, the Netherlands and Great Britain have a list of venues ready.)
