Bel can, too
Here’s a rare glimpse of those bad old days at the (then) New York State Theater, before tens of millions of dollars were spent installing a sound enhancement system, ripping a sound enhancement system, and finally doing an acoustic overhaul.
Note how distant and “small” the voices sounded back in 1976.
I went to a different theater yesterday than the one I normally attend for the HD broadcasts. I was totally freaked out by the lack of sound and the dull light from the screen. It blew me away and I will never go to that theater again. Not to mention the boom booms from next door’s early showing of Avatar. The difference was amazing.
I also want to add this clip of the same production from 1976 with the beautiful tenor voice of Henry Price.
7.1 Onstage? Offstage? **What is the difference**?

You are not. Magda Olivero is.
