I'm not on the fence. I will not set foot to see opera at
the New York State Theater as long as they are using the
"sound enhancement" system. Lucky for me, I don't live in
NY, so it's not a tough decision. Though I do go up to NY
to see the Met.
Beverly Sills, who is Chairman of Lincoln Center, has said
recently and publicly that it didn't hurt either her or
Placido Domingo's career to have sung opera in that house
without any electronics (and one could add Samuel Ramy and
lots of others to that list!), implying that it's not
necessary now, either.
