When you’re short on time and money, it’s not the easiest thing in the world to take an evening out and splash the cash on some tickets to see a play, or go to the ballet, or an opera. Sometimes it’s not even time and money, it’s just a simple matter of distance. So, to put a bit of wind beneath the wings of every grounded culture vulture out there, the Google Cultural Institute has partnered with over 60 performing arts institutions around the world so that you can get involved for free from the comfort of your own home. It’s kind of like street view, except rather than watching that guy with the blurred face mid-fall in some random suburban street, you’re watching performances from the Paris Opera or Carnegie Hall.
Google’s partnership with these various dance, music and drama organizations has resulted in the creation of a huge number of online performing arts exhibits which include thousands of photos, videos, and documents for you to pore over. The best part is definitely the selection of 360-degree videos which allow you to stand on stage alongside the performers and watch them work.
