It has been a while since I talked about the #BGP book (from theory to practice) on my social channels. Since the three authors are always mentioned, well here they are! Let me show you the faces behind the opera! All the information about the book here: https://lnkd.in/ddsesUQt With Tiziano Tofoni and Antonio Prado.

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.

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

What does it mean to be creative? Is creativity intelligence? Is creativity originality? Is creativity imitation? Is creativity inborn? Is creativity learned? Is creativity bestowed? Is creativity acquired? Is creativity measurable? What is creativity and what does it mean to be creative? I answer this and more in the article The Year of Magnum Opera: MC. https://lnkd.in/dDc7mGqB

#comics #comicart 💬 I posted on #instagram an old idea I had for a comic panel with some OCs from a challenge I did some years ago with browsers and character design. This is Edge and Opera (Rita Mata's character) in my style. I drew the continuation almost a year ago (never posted it) and now I tried to make at least an introduction to the situation of the older panels.

And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful Haydn" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful Wozzeck" And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?" Indeterminacy is at the core of Europeras 3 & 4: from the arias sung to the costumes worn, each decision about the production is made using chance procedures. On the Detroit Opera blog, Matthew Principe, Director of Media and Special Projects, details how the piano parts for Europera 3 were selected (randomly) and how they will be juxtaposed with bits and pieces of famous opera arias. What do opera production and furniture building have in common? The old adage “Follow the instructions!” Read more at https://lnkd.in/gWqKVNiU

I know LinkedIn isn’t typically the place for “romance,” but it’s the perfect platform to highlight how unpredictable events can change your life. Consider this an answer to the frequently asked question: “What brought me to Australia?” Or maybe just a touch of soap opera drama. 🤣 https://lnkd.in/dJCRjRjS Note: the image below 👇 was created by Medium automatically.
