YouTube’s Greatest Hits

New York Times: "Thanks to its ease of operation, YouTube allows pretty much anyone with a mild curiosity about opera or musical theater to expand his frame of reference without spending a dime, thanks to the compulsive generosity of members with a desire to exhibit their curatorial prowess. "

I guess if you really like an opera or a ballet, watching at it in such a small screen, it´s not enough… and if you have never tried them, this system doesn´t either work because you can´t be thrilled without the live experience… But, anyway, YouTube has shown to be one of the most profitable ideas lately and it´s really entertaining when you have nothing else to do and you just want to have a little fun.

Nothing will replace the Lincoln Center Library collection of old musicals and plays. They have an extremely extensive video collection. Back in high school, I used to go to the library and watch the original broadway production footage to hype myself up for doing the show. However, its wonderful to see that people are putting that type of footage up on the internet, because it should be available to the public, not sitting in a dusty storage room.
