The first live broadcast of an opera premiere for the Estonian television audience
|
On January 28, ETV will make a live broadcast of the premiere of The Love for Three Oranges, the stage production of the Estonian National Opera, which is regarded as one of the most important cultural events of the year. At the same time, ETV2 will provide a live coverage of the events that take place backstage. This is the very first live broadcast of an opera premiere in the history of Estonian television. The live broadcast on ETV will start at 19.00, an hour before the opera will begin. Three hosts — Ruth Alaküla, Marko Reikop and Anatoli Tafitšuk — will take the viewer from the theatre hall to the backstage, where the last hectic preparations are made. According to the production team, the highly informational live programme that, once the opera has started, continues on ETV2 may even be spiced with humour. The backstage live coverage will be broadcast on ETV2 from 19.55 till 22.30.
