Vitaphone debut to fuse voice with film at opera house
The Vita phone system records sound and picture together with synchronized cameras and a live orchestra. Marion Talley performed an aria from Rigoletto on a stage set at the Manhattan Opera House while cameras, sound equipment, and a control board captured and synchronized music and voice for a future theater presentation. The project is a Warner Brothers Bell Labs Western Electric collaboration with a premiere tied to John Barrymore’s Don Juan on August 5.
