Stand, virtually, on the stage of the Palais Garnier, among the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet. Use your mouse to manipulate a 360-degree video that allows you to see them from many angles as they perform Benjamin Millepied’s “Clear, Loud, Bright, Forward.” Or journey to Stratford-upon-Avon, where you can try to keep up with a frenetic Alex Hassell of the Royal Shakespeare Company as Henry V, exhorting his troops to go “once more unto the breach.”
Or go onstage at Carnegie Hall, where the video places you smack in the middle of the Philadelphia Orchestra as it plays a rousing “In the Hall of the Mountain King” from Grieg’s “Peer Gynt” Suite under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Face forward for a player’s-eye view of the conductor. Turn around to watch a flutist put on his glasses or the strings as they build to a crescendo or the percussionists as they prepare their arsenal for the big finish.
