Watch "The MasterSingers of Nuremburg" live online from Bayreuth, Germany



Germany's annual opera festival devoted to the works of Richard Wagner has set a price and it's a high one — $77.

The festival will show opera live online for the first time during the performance of Die Meistersinger (The MasterSingers of Nuremberg) that opens the event July 27.

Only 10,000 will be able to sign up for the online video. There will also be a free viewing in the Bayreuth public square.

The concept is a new twist for the opera world, where companies are looking for ways to develop young audiences.

The "Satchmo" of Germany



This gentleman decided to go get his trombone after listening to the others play for a while. He surprised everyone when he suddenly begin to play along with the others from the back of the room. He was a lot of fun to watch and even sang some Louis Armstrong in a voice just like ol' Satchmo. It was a blast to experience.
