How did you plan filming with a still-evolving score? 14:09:47 From Sally Burgess : Antonia Bain - when I did Dido & Aeneas for BBC TV (I was the Sorceress) we did exactly what you’re describing - Hickox conducted our recording then we sang to our own voices on location. That’s not a new idea _ but a great thing to keep doing never the less. 14:11:38 From BIll Bankes-Jones : Including in house staff? 14:11:44 From Omar Shahryar : VERY useful information £££ 14:12:44 From BIll Bankes-Jones : 👍 14:14:36 From Ana Inés Jabares-Pita : How do you spell the name of the software? 14:21:28 From BIll Bankes-Jones : @dominic did it take a long time? 14:23:56 From Sally Burgess : Dominic, who did the tech work on the operas?

And for those artists, they work well, because the audience understands a different commercial model to classical. 14:50:43 From lydia mid wales opera : I’ve got a spreadsheet of monetisation models for digital productions…how incredibly sad am I 14:51:00 From Omar Shahryar : Would love to see that, Lydia. 14:51:04 From BIll Bankes-Jones : OMG I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT 14:51:08 From BIll Bankes-Jones : dare you bung it in here? 14:51:12 From Anna Gregg : Yes! 14:51:25 From Clare McCaldin : Yes please lydia 14:51:30 From Ana Inés Jabares-Pita : please yes.

Can I revisit that Midsummer Night's Dream, or catch the One Servant, Two Guvnors that I missed. I have engaged with the NT feeds, and would go for a pay-per-view to watch their other/ past offerings 14:54:47 From Charlotte Hoather : Do you have any advice for how to sell tickets for online events? (Which websites to use/do they promote/unforeseen costs involved) 14:55:14 From Sally Burgess : Thank you Lydia! 14:55:57 From Tania Holland : Fat Lady Opera use TicketSource.

Don’t have links to hand sadly… 15:03:10 From Dominic Wheeler : Bill's question, how long did it take. 8 weeks work for each show 15:03:14 From Rhian Hutchings : Yes - I love Canva! 15:04:08 From Jonathan Man : Q. Any thoughts on diversity & inclusion with participants and audiences, from ethnicity to LGBT+ to class etc? Can this medium say reach out to the Black Lives Matter movement across the globe that digital opera could make a unique contribution to? 15:04:55 From Paul MacAlindin : I certainly think that digital allows direct access to greater diversity of talent, wherever they are, than locational live. 15:05:45 From Paul MacAlindin : If we don’t explore the power of diversity in our creative acts, we’re really missing the point of creativity 15:05:46 From Joanne Roughton-Arnold : Have you thought about how to ensure digital content is accessible to d/Deaf and disabled audiences? e.g. audio description and captioning? 15:05:54 From Tania Holland : Hi Jonathan we are finding that the tech is more helpful rather than less in terms of disabled access. 15:06:44 From BIll Bankes-Jones : YEs @joanne! see the video here https://www.tete-a-tete.org.uk/event/the-bridge-between-breaths/ 15:06:49 From BIll Bankes-Jones : ;-) 15:07:24 From Joanne Roughton-Arnold : Thank you @Bill :-)x 15:10:51 From davidward : Resources - Canva, Audacity, Da Vinci Resolve, Prospero Digital, Shorthand 15:11:02 From Leo Doulton : Thank you David. 15:11:11 From Paul MacAlindin : It’s also a great opportunity to finally teach musicians how to look good on screens. 15:11:40 From BIll Bankes-Jones : 12,000,000 people have no access to the internet, I still worry about them 15:12:20 From Adele Thomas : Is the internet the only medium through which we can use these technological experiments? 15:12:26 From Catherine Exposito : Is that figure for the UK as a whole? Thanks. 15:12:27 From BIll Bankes-Jones : This was a great early project to address that: https://funpalaces.co.uk/news/tiny-revolutions-of-connection/ 15:12:33 From Mike Gibb : Logically, uploading video with lots of changes between "frames" will require more bandwidth than a picture is changing very little. Perhaps the audio from @Dominic_Wheeler and @Douglas_Boyd might be better with static visual background??? Anyone with a better understanding than me to say f this is possibly correct? 15:12:35 From BIll Bankes-Jones : Yep uk as a whole 15:12:53 From BIll Bankes-Jones : telephone! 15:13:09 From Tania Holland : @Bill Bankes-Jones - so a hybrid approach that includes an “opera on wheels” as well as internet 15:13:15 From BIll Bankes-Jones : @dougie talk about this evening’s performance has not been cahcelled? 15:13:18 From Joanne Roughton-Arnold : Radio? 15:13:55 From BIll Bankes-Jones : https://operawire.com/bergen-national-opera-9-other-opera-companies-to-present-this-evenings-performance-has-not-been-canceled-for-one-night-only/ 15:13:59 From BIll Bankes-Jones : that was by phone 15:14:26 From BIll Bankes-Jones : (garsington was part of it) 15:14:56 From Laura.Bowler@rncm.ac.uk : Love the container idea! 15:16:09 From Omar Shahryar : Is there a way that every single arts company could make just one short online piece about how inept the government has been? 15:16:39 From Adele Thomas : Thank you all xx 15:17:05 From Paul MacAlindin : Thank you everyone 15:17:07 From Catherine Exposito : Thank you everyone 15:17:47 From Jonathan Man 2 : @Lydia, I would love to get a copy of the monetisation models spreadsheet for digital productions if possible.

I think the cars are there to keep us socially distanced... 15:55:37 From lydia mid wales opera : https://www.insider.com/paris-cinema-on-water-floating-movie-theater-boats-2020-7? 15:55:41 From Rhian Hutchings : Thankyou @Omar - very concise and spot on! 15:55:51 From BIll Bankes-Jones : Omar we MUST talk! 15:55:51 From lydia mid wales opera : I want so do opera in boats though…hope link works 15:56:24 From Adele Thomas : Lydia - that sounds amazing! 15:56:26 From Rhian Hutchings : Looks amazing @lydia 15:56:40 From Rhian Hutchings : Great news @Sally!! 15:56:40 From Kit : Plenty of performance and interactive installations happening in drive-ins here in Colorado, although no opera yet that I know of 15:56:56 From Adele Thomas : Annalise should be here to tell us more about it very soon. 15:57:14 From BIll Bankes-Jones : @Lydia we’ve had a festival show trialling performance on a boat 15:58:44 From Pamela Hay : I’m sorry I have to go to another meeting.

There are several supported living accommodations along the canal in Macclesfield, and we thought this could be a brilliant way to bring opera to them via barge on the canal :-) 16:00:38 From Rhian Hutchings : So sorry. I need to leave now. It's been a great session and really great to be able to attend! 16:00:53 From Laura Bowler : Leo is definitely the best zoom meeting chair I’ve experienced!! 16:01:03 From Omar Shahryar : Here here 16:01:55 From Michael McCarthy : Yes.

I have to head to another meeting. Thanks so much for this 16:31:27 From BIll Bankes-Jones : bye! 16:33:22 From Sally Burgess : Lydia, nice to know that singers are becoming more dominant during all of this, having been sort of bottom of the importance list in opera these days. 16:33:33 From Omar Shahryar : That sounds amazing! 16:34:00 From jamesconway : Not so at ETO, Sally! 16:34:16 From Sally Burgess : Great to hear James 16:34:51 From Emily Gray : Thisis fab! 16:37:36 From Tania Holland : @Lydia - you are so right about local producers/community hall promoters, armchair activists etc (ie. not necessarily arts marketing teams) are trusted, influential and vital in terms of getting audiences along to opera who might not be normally drawn in. 16:38:02 From BIll Bankes-Jones : yes this is so exactly what #letscreate says :-) 16:39:39 From BIll Bankes-Jones : I WANT TO COME! 16:40:22 From Katherine Rees : enjoying the wonderful welsh representation 16:40:31 From BIll Bankes-Jones : YES <3 16:40:36 From Laura Reid : Yes x love this idea of gossip 16:41:02 From Sally Burgess : They are called influencers these days … but in your case, not celebrities - just good talkers (gossips) hahaha! 16:42:54 From BIll Bankes-Jones : is the chorus cut? 16:43:24 From Omar Shahryar : I am touched by the idea that we have transparent exchange on what DOESN’T work as much as what does. Our sector needs this. 16:43:48 From BIll Bankes-Jones : YES @Omar 💖 16:43:50 From Leo Doulton : Agreed! 16:43:51 From Julie Osman : @Omar - yes I agree 16:45:25 From Laura Reid : yes 16:47:05 From Jonathan Man : @panellists, Q - are you rehearsing on video call or in-person for these local &/or site specific productions? 16:47:18 From BIll Bankes-Jones : Mix 16:47:53 From Stephen Smith : Hi Lydia, could you kindly email me the document on monetisation of digital production? thanks so much globalsmith@hotmail.com 16:49:06 From lydia mid wales opera : done 16:49:41 From Tania Holland : Is this an opportunity for the larger companies to work more closely with regional/smaller scale companies - I’m thinking mutually respectful exchange/ambition towards new audiences and new ways of working rather than big brother mentoring. 16:49:41 From BIll Bankes-Jones : if you’re happy we could put it on the web page of this event with the chat and video, lydia (or not if you’d rather not!0 16:49:53 From BIll Bankes-Jones : YES @Tania! 16:50:45 From BIll Bankes-Jones : yeah wow covering must be a nightmare 16:51:14 From Fiona Williams : The process for rehearsing in bubbles would be very interesting to hear more about as a model as I'm looking at doing this for a show early next year as we work with a COVID-vulnerable chorus.... 16:52:08 From Joanne Roughton-Arnold : It’s really important that as the sector reopens, disabled artists and audiences are thought of too, so that all the positive work that was happening in diversity before lockdown doesn’t get lost. There’s a real fear among disabled artists that they will be left behind as the reopening focuses so much on surviving, so access both on stage and off may be forgotten, and disabled audiences are likely to need more help to feel safe returning. 16:52:11 From BIll Bankes-Jones : the toilets were hilariously complicated on sunday night 16:52:27 From Julie Osman : @ Joanne YES 16:52:59 From BIll Bankes-Jones : @Joanne YES #weshallnotberemoved 16:54:30 From Sally Burgess : Is anyone rehearsing in bubbles and online at the same time (like some schools are delivering their lessons)? Alternating an on/off in person/online kind of rehearsing? 16:54:42 From Omar Shahryar : Absolutely!!!!! 16:54:54 From Laura Reid : yes 16:54:58 From lydia mid wales opera : This is the end of what I wrote for my little speechWe are the curators of something which combines Spectacle and joy Power and passion Something so huge, beautiful and immersive that it takes some of the extraordinary crises we deal with everyday now go away however briefly But our curation can’t be about keeping something precious for ourselves – it needs to be about sharing what we love it, helping people understand why opera matters and why all of us need to help it survive and move forward 16:55:03 From Joanne Roughton-Arnold : Thank you Bill and Julie! https://www.weshallnotberemoved.com 16:56:09 From Michael McCarthy : It's our responsibility to re-create not to wait for someone to tell us to do so 16:56:41 From jamesconway : Quite right, Michael. But even here conspiracy may be useful. 16:57:44 From Michael McCarthy : Without supporting freelancers there is no sector, so they must be supported in a way that keeps them at least ready to go and ideally creative and active 16:58:07 From BIll Bankes-Jones : 👏​@Michael 16:58:14 From Jonathan Man : Q. - Corvid has disprotionatly affected BAME, disabled, working class etc communities. opera has been a source of platforming voices not heard in the mainstream, how can you each be a catylist for opera for social change and a new economic reality? 16:58:26 From Omar Shahryar : Here here, Michael. 16:59:52 From Stephen Smith : Excellent question, Jonathan! 17:02:29 From Stephen Smith : And Lydia, yes curation - and creativity generally - can’t ever be primarily about keeping something precious for ourselves. 17:03:15 From Tania Holland : @James - thanks for highlighting the difference between being thought of as group who need saving “Surviving” narrative and focusing on thriving. Thanks 17:03:29 From Catherine Exposito : Thank you!! 17:03:34 From Stephanie Fleischmann : thank you all, this has been super stimulating! 17:03:36 From Omar Shahryar : Well done! Great to hear you all! 17:03:38 From Stephen Smith : Thanks everyone! 17:04:03 From Julie Osman : Thank you everyone 17:04:54 From Sally Burgess : Adele you have such a brilliant way with words!
