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.

Now if we could persuade people to stop hiring DJs for their corporate and New Year's Eve parties and weddings/bar mitzvahs and go back to using live bands.......
yeah, right.....

"The Joys of Sex" executed by a machine? (And the "Sin"fonia at that.) Ah, well!
