Worth noting that local opera companies are also expanding their audiences in similar ways. The Dallas Opera, for example, recently simulcast a performance of "Magic Flute" (live at the Winspear Opera House) via HD to Cowboys Stadium to an audience of ~15,000 fans: http://www.dallasnews.com/entertainment/columnists/scott-cantrell/20120430-dallas-operas-cowboys-stadium-simulcast-draws-15000.ece By all accounts, a roaring success.
