Bild to Stream Mozart Opera Live with Bülent Ceylan
German tabloid Bild will broadcast a live performance of Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail from the Staatsoper Unter den Linden on July 8 at 19:00 exclusively for Bild+ subscribers. The current production—directed by Andrea Moses—features comedian Bülent Ceylan in a dual role as himself (hosting) and as the speaking role of Bassa Selim. Bild is cooperating with the Berliner Staatsoper to present the event; the performance includes conductor Thomas Guggeis, the Staatskapelle Berlin and the Staatsopernchor. Bild executives and the Staatsoper’s intendant describe the collaboration as an opportunity to make opera more accessible and to attract audiences who have had little prior contact with classical music.
Publisher Bild is using its Bild+ subscription service to stream exclusive live cultural content in partnership with a major opera house; this is a moderate-significance example of publishers expanding subscriber-only live video offerings and content partnerships.
