Great performance, terrible accoustics
by msshasch on 5/17/17Bardavon 1869 Opera House - PoughkeepsieWe have viewed the Mets HD performances in a theater elsewhere for 3 years. Although the singing, acting, orchestra, etc. were wonderful in this performance, the acoustics at the Bardavon were terrible. The sound, especially of the sopranos, was much harsher and more muddled than we are accustomed to hear. Moreover, the screen was noticeably less bright than in the theater where we had previously attended performances. Perhaps little can be done with the acoustics, but the screen could be made brighter. It would also be better if the lights were dimmed for all of the interviews on screen.
