BSkyB Prepares First 3D Opera Broadcast
BSkyB, the second TV provider in Europe to launch a 3D channel, has scheduled what will be the first opera done in the stereoscopic format. Sky is telecasting Donizetti’s “Lucrezia Borgia” live in 3D Feb. 23. The satellite TV provider is collaborating with production company ENO on the project. Sky is calling the telecast the “world’s first quadcast,” because it will be transmitted live on Sky Arts 2 in HD, on Sky 3D and into select U.K. cinemas, as well as on a “deferred relay” in 2D to cinemas around the world.
