| For the past week, the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York has been home to an unusual sight -- performances of "Il Mondo Della Luna," a comic opera about the moon written by Joseph Haydn in 1777. The performance blends traditional opera with laser and light technology provided by the planetarium. We'll talk with the director of the performance. |
