Fair play for making it accessible but No. I haven't seen a traditional performance of Aida yet and it seems an utter shanda to see a modern one first.

I don't identify as an Egyptologist, historian, fashionista, plane buff or archaeologist but that wardrobe and aircraft ain't from a couple of thousand years BCE. I'm reluctant to book to see Aida next month as it looks like they've totally messed about with the historical setting and I'd rather not have the political lecture in opera or a talk before putting me off my stroke. Of course, in current year in the talks they managed to segue in "The Message". Though in the introductory talk they said they had adapted the production they didn't mess with setting or costume too much. There are cheaper tickets for the actual Royal Opera House than the cinema but taking into account travel, accommodation, meals and incidentals going to the Royal Opera House proper would be at least £600.

In fact there were more people on stage (7) than in the auditorium (6). I went to see Madama Butterfly last night which was enjoyable, if a little under-occupied and dear. I've been to the BP/ROH Opera In The Park events in my home city (where BP have operational offices) and they were very enjoyable and relaxed, so I thought I've give the cinema screening a punt even though it's far from a favourite opera. They hay have done so before but this is the first I've heard of it. The Royal Opera House are live streaming their opera productions to cinemas throughout the UK and worldwide from, this Autumn.
