El cine exhibe ópera: el público y el futuro mediático de las artes

Abstract

In the XXI century, the Cinema, whilst undergoing a complex process of retention and attraction of au-diences, explores business strategies to optimize his exhibition sector. The opera, also mired in a social process of opening, use the media to expand their horizons beyond the theaters. Of the meeting between those two processes opera arises in cinemas as audiovisual business in growth. Following artistic and sociological perspectives, this article attempts to determine if the relationship between opera and cinema goes beyond the loan of a physical and technological space that allows the consumption of the opera beyond theaters, or if it leads to a change in content, language, products and audiences. This article asks, ultimately, if we could talk about cinematographic opera, besides opera in cinemas.
