OPERA AND THE MEDIA OF THE FUTURE launched in September 2014
The Opera and the Media of the Future initiative was launched at a two-day event held at Glyndebourne on 24th and 25th October 2014.
The event was aimed at both academics and opera/media professionals. We welcomed participants from a full range of academic and professional backgrounds, including opera adminstrators, educators, composers, media artists, directors, performers, and media theorists and researchers.
The event consisted of a mixture of empirical / theoretical research presentations and case studies, with examples of artistic work with new media, including the presentation of two mini web operas commissioned specially for the event. The format included keynote presentations, panel discussions, practical demonstrations and workshops.
