Welsh National Opera (WNO) has become the first European opera company to create music downloads and video streaming from its own live performances. From 5 March to 15 April extracts from The Flying Dutchman (pictured) are available through four free music downloads from the WNO website.
Carlo Rizzi, WNOs Music Director, said, The Dutchman downloads are part of a wider strategy to bring something extra to all our audiences the regular opera-goer who might want a memento of a great evening out in the theatre, or a newcomer who is intrigued to try something new, but wants a taster of what to expect. We are also really interested in whether this will reach a younger audience.
