Through this series of digital conversations, we are working to foster understanding across the industry – among those on stage, behind the scenes, and in the audience. Our first season focused on specific challenges within the creation of operatic performance, the impact that current crises are likely to have on our field, and opportunities for future innovation. This season, Inner Workings dives deeper: How does American opera get funded? What do composers and librettists need to know before they create a new work? What is the function of a board of directors? How can we better utilize modern technology in opera? What goes into self-producing? and So. Much. More.
