The new ‘film opera’ blends live singing and a 26-piece orchestra with a recorded electronic soundtrack, and both 2D and 3D film – all in 110 minutes with no intervalThe lush vivid green rainforest seems to burst out at you from the giant 20ft-high 3D screen at the back of the stage.Leaves fluttering on branches look so close you feel you could reach out and touch them.Standing motionless among the trees and bushes are two life-sized holograms, of a man and a woman, staring blankly out. In front of the screen three singers are performing on a bare stage.Then suddenly, and eerily, the holograms come to life and start to interact and sing with the live performers.This is Sunken Garden, the world’s first 3D film opera. It’s being rehearsed in a cavernous film studio, just a javelin’s throw from London’s Olympic Park.Watching intently in the darkness, with copies of the score and the libretto spread out on a desk in front of them, are Dutch composer, director and film-maker Michel van der Aa and celebrated author David Mitchell, whose labyrinthine novel Cloud Atlas, with its six different storylines spanning centuries, was recently transformed into an equally epic $100 million Hollywood film starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and Hugh Grant.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-2302840/English-National-Opera-Hologram-singers-Avatar-style-3D-effects-techno-music-How-took-bold-step-future.html#ixzz2PkeIirlS

"AE asked:

Drekx reply:

"Please no- not Jagger and children.
When I used to work in Manhattan I heard a weird story Jagger that I won't repeat here-he lived in Manhattan in the 80s and 90s -it wasn't about children"
