Background
History
Paul Kuritz writes: ″Romanticism found its truest expression in opera. Realism found its natural form in photography, and, later, in its extension, motion pictures.″ In an interview with Maria Baranova, producer Ivan Talijancic stated that live performances are extremely ephemeral: "So it’s a tremendous challenge to capture the experience of this living, breathing, three-dimensional art form in a two-dimensional frozen moment. It takes a special eye and skill to get that."
