Opera Conference 2024 Topic III: What’s Next For Opera?

Opera is rooted in four centuries of inherited practices. For many of these years, opera was at the forefront of invention in stagecraft, lighting, and instrumentation. In the 20th century, commercial creativity took the lead in the areas of film and popular entertainment. Here, in one of the entertainment capitals of the world, experts at the intersection of art and technology will share some of the latest developments shaping their work and hint at the implications for opera.

Topic III: What’s Next For Opera? was originally presented at Opera Conference in Los Angeles, CA, on Friday, June 6, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. and included the conversation recorded above, followed by breakout sessions which continued the conversation.

Featuring:
  • Troy Baker, actor, director, musician
  • Piper Gunnarson, general director and CEO, On Site Opera
  • Dani Keil, chief operating officer, Tulsa Opera
  • Andrea Pessino, chief technical officer and co-founder, Ready At Dawn
  • Robin Glosemeyer Petrone, partner, Threshold Acoustics
  • Austin Wintory, composer
