The list of movie theaters showing the telecast of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 from Caracas, Venezuela on Saturday continues to grow. Gustavo Dudamel will conduct the Los Angeleles Philharmonic, Simón Bolivár Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, eight soloists and more than 1,000 choristers in what will indeed be “Symphony of More than 1,000.”
The telecast begins at 2 p.m. Pacific Time Saturday from the Teatro Teresa Carreno in Caracas where both orchestras are currently participating in a reprise of “The Mahler Project” held recently in Los Angeles. In addition to theatres in the U.S. and Canada, Saturday’s performance will be telecast live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with tape-delayed telecasts following in Brazil and Columbia. Oddly enough, there are no telecasts yet slated for Venezuela. An encore telecast will be shown in some U.S. theatres on Feb. 29.
