Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. has officially opened its new MSG Sphere Studios in Burbank, California, US. The facility will allow the company to create and test immersive content for MSG Sphere in Las Vegas.
The company’s MSG Sphere is set to open in Las Vegas next year, and this new facility will be a space for its teams to create original content and immersive experiences for the attraction.
Located at The Venetian in Las Vegas, the state-of-the-art MSG Sphere will feature a 160,000sq ft display plan that surrounds the audience, including the world’s highest resolution LED screen with over 170 million pixels and a resolution of 16K x 16K.
The new California facility is home to a screen built specifically to replicate the experience of the MSG Sphere. Inside the venue, which covers around 28,000sq ft, is a quarter-scale, full-resolution prototype of the MSG Sphere’s curved LED screen. This will allow the team at the studio to create content for the Las Vegas attraction, working together with creatives.
Jim Dolan, Executive Chairman and CEO of MSG Entertainment said: “MSG Sphere Studios is on a mission to work with visionary artists and creators to bring the future of entertainment to life. MSG Sphere will be unlike any entertainment destination in the world, delivering multi-sensory experiences at a scale never previously contemplated. With Big Dome, we are now able to give artists a true representation of what it will be like to tell stories in MSG Sphere. I want to thank our partners in Burbank for welcoming us to the community; we look forward to continuing our pioneering work here for years to come.”
