Last Sunday, BrisVegas was treated to the second Springboard Opera Barefoot opera. Changing everything (Opera) into the C21 way… It was fabulous fun – kind of audience participation opera - and if you do not have a lot of opera experience, come along to the next one in Toowoomba (check out our website…) But that is not what today is about. Springboard Opera … changing everything into the C21 way… Opera in 2024 has a bit of an image problem … a bit fancy-pants and high-brow, expensive & inaccessible. So, we at Springboard have set out to change that. Barefoot Opera is … well… really affordable, has drinks, and is in the community. And lots of fun! We do this to challenge people who do not “do” opera… in the Springboard world, opera is not even asking you to get out of your comfort zone. Opera for Everyone … Opera in unexpected ways in unexpected places. Innovation is a big deal for Springboard. In everything. And in our connected world, we think that everything is connected. Like the way that the organisation runs, is financed, what its culture is. So not just the arts end of the show. Because you can’t transform just part of the Opera Idea – it is all or nothing. This is Springboard Opera… different, innovative and exciting, and that is why it is called Springboard … We are leaping into a new world – in everything that we do.

"SAID ON OPERA is a compelling read for opera enthusiasts, scholars, and students alike. It stands as a testament to Said's erudition and his ability to traverse disciplinary boundaries, offering a richly textured, nuanced appreciation of opera. Through Said's interpretive lens, the book not only enriches our understanding of the operas discussed but also invites readers to consider the broader societal, political, and cultural implications of the art form, thus reaffirming the enduring power and relevance of opera in contemporary discourse." —Athena, Marginal Space https://buff.ly/3vbbY2v #BookReview

A final essay about the last video material, about your prior knowledge of opera

Arias come in different shapes and sizes but in essence they are ‘songs’ in an opera and are used by the composer to communicate what characters are thinking and feeling. Many arias are lyrical and not unique to opera, as they also appear in oratorios, cantatas, and other vocal genres. In Conversation focuses on some of the well known and best lived arias in the operatic repertoire https://lnkd.in/gJ7XBvx9
