I think the issue is not if the simulcasts are good or not, but that they are a colossal drain of money – something that a symphony orchestra would be slammed for big time. Hence, the double-standard that Bergman talks about in his post.

I have gone to most of them. I go to Lloyd Center and the house was always full. The performance starts at 10:00 and by 9:30 people have to really look to find a seat.

I’ve seen ads for these HD simulcasts at the movies while waiting for the main feature… in addition to other seemingly random one-off screenings (marching band competitions, anime imports). I’m curious if others have actually attended and if so how many seats are filled?
