Hungarian State Opera Goes 3D

English

Special polarised glasses will allow the audience to see the moving projections in 3D as well as the singers and dancers illuminated with conventional lights.
 
Producer Francesco Stochino Weiss said just six or seven teams are working similar 3D opera projects around the world.
 
The software to be used at the performance, Touch Designer, has been used in such films as The Matrix, Dark City, Inception and the Harry Potter series.
 
Ildikó Komlósi will sing the role of Judit in Bluebeard?s Castle, opposite István Kovács. The opera?s musical director György Ráth Győriványi will conduct.
 
Five dancers from the Ballet Espanol Ensemble will perform a choreography by Lola Greco to Ravel?s Bolero.
