Washington National Opera Internet "telecast" announced

In its continuing efforts to win a wider audience, the Washington
National Opera plans to present its second free live simulcast from the Kennedy
Center to the Mall on Nov. 12.

"Madama Butterfly" will be shown that afternoon on an 18-by-32-foot
video
screen located near the Capitol as part of what WNO now says is
a "commitment" to telecasting one opera a year. Last November, George
and
Ira Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" drew an audience estimated at 13,000
people.
