In 1824 when the radio and TV stations of Newgate were known by the call letters NWGT, they have offered the finest music played around the world and in other dimensions.  They have given listeners and viewers the chance to hear and watch great performers throughout time from ancient times to contemporary times and allowed people to feel like they are actually in concert halls, opera houses, and other musical venues.  With transdimensional equipment, cameras and microphones have given people the chance to be closer to performers than any audiences could ever get. 

People have seen Handel conduct his water music on the Thames and seen the fireworks that accompanied his Royal Fireworks music.  The recording of the water music may have been over a century old.   But it seemed like a live performance from the first day it was shown on the TV station. 

The first concert the cameras of NWGT caught took place in Vienna at the Kamtnertortheater on May 7, 1824 when Beethoven and Michael Umlauf conducted the music of Beethoven which featured the composer’s Ninth Symphony.  It brought people to their feet in Vienna and Newgate when it was presented live that morning in the Forbren Auditorium.  Beethoven may have never come to Newgate.  But it seemed as if he was there both in the morning before an audience of 1200 and that night in a packed house. 

World premiers were presented by NWGT for listeners and viewers in their homes and on the stage of the Forbren Auditorium.  Since it cost so little to present projections of concerts and operas on the stage, the auditorium was able to present productions that would have cost thousands of dollars for pennies on the dollar.  The audiences that paid didn’t feel cheated seeing projections because they knew that somewhere in the world or in other dimensions, audiences were also enjoying the performances. 

Every opera of Wagner was presented by projection on the stage of the Forbren Auditorium and received mixed reviews.  The last of the Ring Cycle, Gotterdammerung, didn’t receive complaints because of the music.  It’s 6 1/2 hour first performance presented a workout for performers in Germany and for the audience in Newgate that had to sit through the production. 

With special equipment, listeners and viewers were able to read the thoughts of performers and composers starting in 1856 when people discovered how antisemitic Wagner was and that he thought other composers weren’t as competent as he was.  That still didn’t keep his music from being accepted in Newgate.   But their opinion of him was tempered by what they knew about him.  And when Tchaikovsky was discovered to be a homosexual early on in his career, the people may have been put off by his sexual preference.  But they still considered him a fabulous composer and enjoyed seeing him conduct and at times perform.
