Starting in January 2008 the GE Theatre at Proctors, working with Emerging Pictures, in a regional exclusive, will bring the Operas from La Scala and two other prestigious Italian opera houses to the Capital region through digital high definition broadcast on the enormous iwerks screen. The operas have been recorded live in gorgeous HDTV format with Dolby Digital sound that takes full advantage of the state of the art equipment and facilities at Proctors. The series begins with Verdi's Aida on Friday, January 11th.

Particularly worth noting in the cast is the debut at La Scala of Angela Gheorghiu in the role of Violetta, a debut anticipated by her 2006 recital. Elena Mosuc and Irina Lungu take turns in the remaining performances. Ramón Vargas, Jonas Kaufmann and Massimo Giordano are the tree Alfredos. Roberto Frontali, Leo Nucci (for two dates) and George Gagnidze sing the role of Germont.
