> Do you know whether this is simply for the public's benefit As David mentioned, it does indeed seem to be for the public's benefit.
I met the Dr. Leisinger and many other musicologists, mostly from Germany, at the "Digitale Medien und Musikedition" symposium in Mainz last November. It was a great meeting where we discussed many different projects and possibilities for digital music editions. The current NMA online edition is only a first step; they plan to bring it into the symbolic digital world using some home-grown scanning technology. You can read more about the symposium on line. Nearly all of the presentations, including mine, are available at the symposium web site: http://www.adwmainz.de/index.php?id=491 If you can read German, you can read the contribution by Dr. Leisinger and his colleagues about the Digital Mozar Edition at: http://www.adwmainz.de/fileadmin/adwmainz/MuKo_Veranstaltungen/S2-Digi tale_Medien/mozart-text.pdf David Packard contributed a lot of the money towards renovating the California Theatre in downtown San Jose into an opera house. It's a beautiful 1000-seat house that we desperately needed both for the opera and symphony; I've had great experiences there both as a choral singer and audience member. So what was the opening production? Le nozze di Figaro, of course!
