How’d They Do It? — Outdoor Performances

What goes into presenting an opera outdoors during a pandemic? Hear from opera company leaders about how they adapted rehearsal and performance practices to outdoor venues, established COVID protocols for artists, staff, and attendees, and connected with new audiences through novel stagings.

Speakers

David Bennett, General Director, San Diego Opera
Julia Noulin-Mérat, General Director, Opera Columbus
Tomer Zvulun, General and Artistic Director, The Atlanta Opera
Laura Lee Everett, Chief Programs Officer, OPERA America (moderator)
