Victorian hologram keeps music in touch with lockdown audience

"Victorian hologram keeps music in touch with lockdown audience: Musicians are using an interactive hologram based on Victorian technology to reach fans in the locked down world of the coronavirus pandemic."

The two musicians join a pianist who is live on stage. They are made to appear on stage because of an illusion involving a large piece of glass popular in theaters in the 1860s. Could bands be transmitted to to 'live' gigs in this way?
