Artistic and Technical Production

Chapter 3 in The Management of Opera, 2010, pp 69-105 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Opera production and performance and the art of assembling a huge number of totally different artistic and technical resources are the core activities of opera houses all over the world. Both the production techniques used in the earliest European opera houses of the 16th and 17th centuries and today’s production modes reveal this capacity for “assemblage” to be an opera producer’s decisive skill. The dimensions and artistic standards may have changed considerably, and modern technologies may have given opera houses resources that would have been unimaginable even just a century ago, but the present and past situations overlay each other.
