Operatic performances in movie theaters are mushrooming, not only in the United States but overseas. British musical gadfly Norman Lebrecht takes a look at the phenomenon and — as you might expect — sees some problems with it.

La Bohème and The Daughter of the Regiment will conclude the season in April.
