Live in HD
“Event Cinema” industry born
Today in 2006, a live HD broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera was transmitted for the first time to 100 movie theaters across North America plus others in Britain, Japan and one in Norway.
The range of offerings has expanded to include variety of music concerts, live sport events, documentaries and lectures, faith broadcasts, stand-up comedy, museum and gallery exhibitions, and TV specials such as the record-breaking Doctor Who fiftieth anniversary special The Day of The Doctor.
Theatre, ballet, sport, exhibitions, TV specials and documentaries are now established forms of what became to be known as “Event Cinema.”
