Photo: Musical Instrument Museum Theater Control Room and Stage

I have shown a few photos of an exhibition at the Musical Instrument Museum during the last few days, so here is a view of the control room at the back of the Musical Instrument Museum Theater, looking down to the solitary piano on stage.

Everything at the MIM theater is rather new and seems to take advantage of modern electronics.  My husband and I took a backstage tour of the Sydney Opera House about a year ago and we were surprised to learn that the control and lighting electronics have not been updated since the Opera House was opened in 1973.  They said that touring production people do not know how to work the equipment because they have never used equipment so old.

This week we are showing photos of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

    You mention something that the average theater goer does not think about -- are the electronics in the control room up to date, or obsolete?

    Almost incredible! I thought that things like these happened only here in Italy...
