Can’t make that artistic pilgrimage to New York this summer to see the Metropolitan Opera or England’s Royal Ballet (at Lincoln Center this week)? Wish you could catch Helen Mirren’s Tony-winning turn as Queen Elizabeth II in the hit Broadway play The Audience? Wanted to see Julie Taymor’s fantastical hit production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream last year? Or perhaps your taste in the Bard runs to the more traditional stagings at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in England?Good news — they’re coming to you. Not live, but via gorgeously shot, high definition films of live performances screening in arthouses and multiplexes around South Florida. What began as an experiment with the Metropolitan Opera a decade ago is becoming a regular part of mainstream movie programming.
