A National Labor Relations Board ruling has upheld Local 802's
insistence that the Opera Company of Brooklyn not use the Sinfonia
artifical orchestra machine <http://www.rms.biz/docs/sinfonia.htm> for
its performance of The Marriage of Figaro.

This is good news for live music, and live musicians.

It's not perfect, since the performance had originally used live
musicians, and the use of the Sinfonia was a change, permitting the
company to use fewer musicians.

The real clash will come with a new show, The Joys of Sex, in which the
composer says he wrote specifically for the Sinfonia, and it does not
replace or reduce the number of live musicians.

Best regards.
