Duck Dynasty and the Metropolitan Opera are two very different cultural phenomena, but they have at least one thing in common: Fathom Events, the unique and prolific theatrical distributor based in Denver.
Over the past 20 years, Fathom has mastered the art of finding audiences for one-off cinematic events, from live broadcasts of opera, stage plays and live concert pics to anniversary rereleases of classic Hollywood films.

Grammy Award-winning opera singer Renée Fleming recently sat down with uInterview founder Erik Meers to discuss how the project showcases opera to a wider audience.
“The Met HD broadcasts have been really helpful in the last decade,” Fleming said, before adding, “IMAX takes it to another level. IMAX, with Stage Access, has done a type of filming that is so larger than life in terms of the cameras that were used and the camera work. This is an art form, of course, that combines all of the arts. To be able to sit and see that huge screen for opera is so perfect, and this amazing sound system also enhances how we sound.
