As another autumn season draws to a close, we say goodbye to so many brilliant cast and creative team members while also welcoming back to #leeds our amazing Chorus and Orchestra. It's been a fantastic tour to #newcastle, #salford and #nottingham, with two sold out performances of The Magic Flute to round everything off at Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall Nottingham. Thank you to everyone involved on and off the stage, to our funders and, of course, to our audiences - we couldn't do any of this without you. Here's to more great opera in 2025! 📸 James Glossop - The Magic Flute richard hubert smith - A Midsummer Night's Dream and Ruddigore #liveperformance #opera #arts #thankyou

This is a subject I am also grappling with. Somehow, it’s hard to move opera’s great institutions into the 21st century. In a world in desperate need of a new Vision for the future, why are we enslaved to the stories of the 19th century in one of history’s most exciting, emotionally charged, physically and acoustically vibrant art forms? Instead of broken-record 100+ year old pieces, the opera could return to its historical role: as the performing arts’ greatest innovator. Let’s find our composers, librettists and storytellers—and give them opportunities to learn, explore, and exchange with their audiences and performers. Let’s shake up the format—so that people can digest the pieces in a high-paced world. Let’s stop settling for blasé and formulaic, Sexist, backwards, and downright ridiculous. Let’s let the voices of opera rise to regenerate and reinvigorate us to move forward—as they always have in the past. (Especially as it was once in my beloved Vienna, the opera capital of the world.) Opera should ignite our senses, emotions and imaginations. Settling for less ensures its decline.
Finally got to e-meet Sean Kelly this week and it was just as energizing and thought-provoking as I expected. One of the questions he asked me was "What's your favorite opera?" It got me thinking, "What operas would I actually WANT to attend, now that I'm on the other side of the stage?" If I'm being honest, I'm tired of operas with convoluted plots and archaic stereotypes. I want to see a story told with real depth and sensitivity. I want a narrative that resonates with contemporary issues and emotions; a piece of art that is grounded in authenticity and empathy. So here are my top two. What are yours? 🌟 "This is Not That Dawn by Omar Najmi 🌟 Freedom Ride by Dan Shore 📷 @aspiring.opera.singers #opera #relevance

I love what Kerriann Otaño does here with the jargony, intimidating word "supertitles." Spoiler alert: She doesn't use it at all. Instead, she uses the word "captions," which is a word that ALL consumers will understand. A simple shift, but a powerful one. #artsmarketing #opera #audiencedevelopment https://lnkd.in/eAd7K-Wx
