http://www.laphillive.com LA Phil Music Director Gustavo Dudamel discusses the 2011/12 season of LA Phil LIVE, the LA Phil's groundbreaking in-theater HD simulcasts. In this clip, he talks about what audiences can expect to see in the all-Mendelssohn program, featuring violinist Janine Jansen and broadcast live from Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on OCT 9, the exclusive look at the process theatergoers will experience with "Backstage Pass," and the upcoming broadcast from Venezuela in 2012.
Amazing that in LA, the LA Phil has to resort to small children so that they could get 600-700 singers. The total with the two orchestras, Simon Bolivar and LA was 1,050.
In Caracas, with two orchestras and 1,200 singers they will get 1,600 musicians. Now that is epic. When California has its priorities in putting people in prison, there is no money for art.

Mahler's 8th with 1,600 people on stage must be the definition of epicness.
