the first emperor... in hd

Live from Metropolitan Opera... Tan Dun's epic opera The First Emperor will be broadcast on the big screen in select HD theaters around the country this Saturday, January 13th. It's the next best thing to seeing the show live, I guess. (See Placido Domingo in yellowface!) The production is staged by none other than Zhang Yimou, with costumes by Oscar-winning designer Emi Wada. Sounds like a big deal. For more information, go here and here.
