If you should be planning to see “Lulu” at Lyric, you can get a preview of it on YouTube. The first part of the video is a film shown between the second and third acts. The black and white video was made in the opera house itself, using some of my fellow supernumeraries as actors ( I know the “judge” well) as well as the singers from the show. The black and white video is about 3 minutes long when you see it at the opera house and is incredibly well done; it’s a real “hoot” to see your friends on the “silver screen”!
Comments on YouTube – You could spend a lot of time looking at these, time which I don’t really have or which I prefer to spend DOING things in the real world – like gardening or being in the opera or whatever. Many of the videos are very entertaining, but I worry about “productivity” – are we all just going to sit in front of computers all the time?
I think a video on how to do a basic search on the computer would be most useful, but it would be best to have it on a screen in the lobby rather than on the home page. That way, everyone in the library could see it without going on the internet. I think it would be really wonderful to have it on the home page for those using the catalog from home.
