Met HD Series in China

Picture
On Aug 27, 2011, USCCI assisted to present The Magic Flute HD Live in the Shanghai Grand Theater as a co-organizer and brought the HD series to China. Shanghai audiences joined audiences from 54 other countries in being able to enjoy the Metropolitan Opera’s world-class performance in the company of some of China’s best operatic artists.

The Shanghai Grand Theater is the exclusive venue for the first six Live in HD broadcasts to be shown in China, beginning with Mozart’s The Magic Flute, a red carpet event on Aug 27 and a Family Concert on Aug 28. Shanghai-born soprano Ying Huang opened the HD series as host of The Magic Flute. A unique aspect of this HD series in Shanghai is the inclusion of a live host on stage with an international Chinese opera artist who performs at the Metropolitan Opera in that opera. And the future broadcasts are of Puccini’s La Boheme (hosted by bass-baritone Shenyang), Turandot (hosted by bass Hao Jiang Tian), Tan Dun’s The First Emperor (hosted by the composer himself), Aida (hosted by soprano He Hui) and Madama Butterfly (hosted by soprano Zhang Liping).

Each opera is aired by the Shanghai Media Group’s Arts Channel after each performance, including a special documentary in 50 min about Met Opera in HD.
