That's true, many North American Performing Arts organizations and companies are years ahead of most of the European organizations in reflecting the aspects Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). They address racial injustice, gender disparity, and ableism, as well as discrimination and power abuse more serious and with more financial power.

Doing good is good business.

The Sydney Opera House just missed a golden opportunity. They recently launched a new seat view feature, but instead of using cutting-edge technology, they relied on outdated methods. Imagine this: Instead of taking thousands of photos, they could have used a digital twin of the venue. This would not only save time but also opened up exciting possibilities for their clients and customers: - Set design optimisation: Visualise seats with set pieces in place to ensure perfect sightlines. - Pre-programming capabilities: Program lighting, AV, pyrotechnics, and show control systems before even stepping foot in the venue. - 3D audio analysis: Analyse sound patterns in a fully immersive 3D environment. - Augmented Reality: Imagine seeing Dame Jone Sutherland performing on the Opera Theatre stage or seeing the Sydney Theatre companies set in place before it is even constructed. - Virtual Reality: Create virtual tours of the Sydney Opera House for those people not lucky enough to be able to visit in real life. The Opera House could have taken their service offering to the next level. Instead, they chose the path of least resistance. Let’s hope they embrace innovation next time. P.S. What other features do you think digital twins could revolutionise in venues? Comment below!
