#OperaConf
What types of results have you experienced?“Newspaper more interested in these than our normal shows”
“Immersive events have garnered more media attention.”
“There is a certain amount of pride when we perform in a person's neighborhood.”
#OperaConf
What types of results have you experienced?“7,500 people of all ages and backgrounds [compared] to the roughly 2,000 – 3,000 people on average spring opera production.”
“Two-thirds of our normal theater-based audience has no interest in this and ignores site-specific work.”
“A major benefit of presenting operas in alternative venues is the cross-promotion with that venue's audience.”
#OperaConf
What types of results have you experienced?“Very popular productions for us. Consistently sell-out and get a lot of attention from the general public. Bringing in new faces for our shows with these non-traditional venues especially when at local bars or restaurants.”
“Little increase to main stage sales.”
“Our first experiment exceeded goal; the follow-up did not.”
