The "Opera Queen" discusses (among other things) my article "Scylla and Charibdis" in her blog, an interesting read: #operaqueen

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

"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

"As we look back on this opera, two questions come to mind: why should we listen to this piece and what do we listen for?" Dive into the details of Handel's Julius Caesar before our production this summer in this blog post written by Principal Conductor, Daniela Candillari!

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.

Friday Arts. At Springboard Opera, our things are Re-inventing the Opera Idea and Supporting Emerging Artists. Cool… On the face of it, that would seem to be about (say) presenting opera in new and innovative ways in unexpected and surprising places to people who would not usually participate in Opera. Got all of that? It IS a bit of a headful for a Friday! And what of those of us who are not blessed with singing voices? Are we doomed to sit on the sidelines as Friends and Ticket Buyers? Well … as it turns out, you can if that is your thing… but otherwise, a resounding NO! To achieve our stated outcomes, a new kind of arts organisation is needed. One that is willing to challenge the paradigm and take advantage of the opportunities thrown up by the 21st century. Answering questions like: - why does Opera have to be done the way that it is? - What could a different future look like? And ... - Can we create a sustainable model for opera (and the arts generally) that is not so heavily reliant on Government? Paradigm-busting thoughts!!! Springboard Opera, the 21st century opera company, is being built on new ways of financing itself, new ways of ensuring all stakeholders get properly rewarded for what they do, new ways to use technology in everything, new strategies to achieve outcomes… A New Way of thinking about itself. Because if it does not do that it is a 20th century opera company pretending to be a 21st Century Opera Company. This is Springboard Opera … if you’re up for a 21st century adventure, up for creating something new, exciting and paradigm-busting to support young people, jump over to our website https://lnkd.in/gXgNVTGg, and get involved. Singing optional. #Future #TransformationalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Directors #Technology #Performingarts #YourNetworkForLife Leslie Martin Luisa Tarnawski Gheorja Haidley
