This is the Mancinelli Opera House in Orvieto, rehearsals for the Barber of Seville.

The wind players are being boxed into wood and plexiglass cages arranged in an L shape.

The acoustic result, we’re told, is not bad at all, although the remoters instruments struggle to get heard.

The cages are built inexpensively by a local carpenter in Orvieto.
