| SOUND: |
We carry no sound equipment or staff. Opera A La Carte's artists are all singers with backgrounds in grand opera. If acoustics are questionable, we will use the house sound system. We prefer PZMs or similar along the front of the stage. Stand-up mics or body mics cannot be used. We are guided by your expertise at to whether your house requires sound reinforcement.
