The Greatest Showman is quickly becoming a standard for demos in the consumer audio/video industry. Because is a musical (sorta), there are plenty of good scenes for sound, but the scene where the opera singer first gives her performance is a immediate classic moment for a surround system demo.
Personally, my favorite part about this scene is how unique of a Dolby ATMOS experience it provides. Because ATMOS delivers a vertical component to the surround experience; ATMOS demos always involve showing how sound is above you. This opera scene is different because it delivers DEPTH to the soundstage as well as height. The engineers accurately placed the orchestra below the stage in their pit. In a properly setup system the orchestra sounds like it's in a pit down low in front of the room. Awesome.
