99% of theatre performances, standup comedy, live music, dance, sports, college lectures etc go unrecorded.
Isn't that fine, though? I think it's good for some things to be ephemeral.
- tacocataco 3y agoAre the theaters legally preventing these recordings from taking place?
- ghaff 3y agoTheaters are probably not in a big hurry to do recordings that compete with live performances. I've been told a lot of it is rights issues associated with the performers, playwright, etc. though. Personally I find it a pity we don't have quality recordings of most theater. How many great performances are lost to time? If you're into opera, the Met's Live in HD are great. ADDED: A fairly small local theater I have a subscription to did make some digital recordings during COVID. But they were only available for a limited lime and weren't free.
