GigaContent redefines operatic performance with The World
Opera!
3. november 2010
What does classical opera and new, superfast Internet services
have in common? Nothing - untill now! The World
Opera is a groundbreaking new concept bringing musicians
and opera stars from all over the world together over the Internet.
Among the key technology suppliers to the project is
GigaContent.
The World Opera's goal is to move the bounds for how opera is
performed and experienced by using the plethora of possibilities
offered by the global Internet. The World Opera's performing
artists - including singers, musicians, and conductors - can be
physically located all over the world, but they meet on a virtual
operatic stage on the Internet. Singers and other artists can
follow and listen to eachother e.g. on giant screens, and together
they create an entirely new kind of operatic experience - both for
themselves and their audience.
The artists, organizers, and the technical team behind The World
Opera are busy testing the concept, and expect to have three
permanent facilities ready for operation in Stockholm, Tromsø
(Norway), and Struer, repsectively, in the spring of 2011. Shortly
thereafter the organizers will invite an audience to expernience
The World Opera on the Internet.
GigaContent will deliver a 1Gbit per second data connection
connecting an opera-facility in Struer (in the north of Denmark) to
the Internet via GigaContent's main technical hub in Taastrup, west
of Copenhagen.
