I went to the Opera yesterday. I saw Verdi's "Un Ballo in Maschera" which was the opening night of the new season of Spain's Madrid Opera in the Theatro Real. And all at my local cinema in Croydon!

In all sorts of ways this is a very exciting development. Musically the evening was really exciting: It is one of Verdi's great operas, all the singers were excellent, the orchestra was brilliant and the production (from London's Royal Opera House) was a real spectacle.

Technically it was very impressive: this was a LIVE performance. Not a DVD being projected: there were over 80 cinemas across Europe all taking this live performance from Madrid as a High Definition/Surround Sound (Dolby 5.1. for those who are interested!) video stream.

I also think that there is great potential for schools to take part in this: while ticket prices were higher than usual for a film they were a fraction of the typical opera ticket and you saw the singers in close up (there were seven cameras used so you were given different angles not just a "front-on" view). So, all you music teachers out there take a look at these two websites to find out where and when the rest of the season will be playing and go to an opera coming to a cinema near you soon.

Here is a list of ROH season's performances and the whole season, a list of participating cinemas and lots of details about the technology are given on the Arts Alliance Media website.

Welcome back to the new school year. The LHC started yesterday and despite some of the scare stories we are all still here!

This is a really fantastic story to start the year with. If you want to read more about the LHC - what it stands for, what it is trying to do and why it is so important then take a look at the New Scientist's Special Report. There is a video and the first image produced by the collider as well as links to some absolutely stunning Virtual reality photographs - there are three images 1,2, and 3.

As usual the BBC also has some very good coverage as well. There is a news special which includes a report on computing at CERN. Did you know that the inventor of the World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee) worked at CERN and that it was developed originally to help scientists share their work?

And, of course, there was the Torchwood play.
