15. Production optimization
|
| OperaManager.com is a meeting point between various production
elements. Theatres' respective programming announcements results in a high
probability of joint productions at the national and international levels.
Furthermore, better management of artist's engagements results in increased
casting possibilities for theatres; and a chronological and geographical
optimization of the distribution of offerings at an international level
can lead to the sharing of audiences among theatres instead of splitting
the audience between them. Representation agencies can verify all represented
artists' expected engagements during their availability period, with considerable
savings of time and money, and learn about roles not yet cast. In this way,
agencies can enlarge their range of actions and simultaneously guarantee
their artists major possibilities of being cast. For their part, theatres
can make use of a range of options and can be guaranteed of substitutions
or alternates, even for the most difficult to cast roles. |

16. Exchanging and renting out sets
|
| The rental of sets produced by the theatre allows a gradual
income of realization costs and limits costs incurred by storage and wear
and tear from disuse. Even the transport of materials can result in high
costs, making it more convenient to allow a free transfer. OperaManager.com
offers for your disposal the most complete exhibition of theatrical sets.
This method of comparison allows you to evaluate the compatibility of the
set with your stage in real time. It is essential that mid-level theatres
be able to appraise an existing offer before deciding about a new production,
and Operamanager.com provides a precious opportunity for theatres to check
structures of major importance. That said, a theatre that produces a new
staging will obtain major contractual power, provided that it is used non-episodically
(sporadically?), and thus obtaining better economic treatment for both the
artists and the scenic suppliers. Furthermore, OperaManager.com will provide
useful information for appraising, already in the planning phase, and the
adoption of accords to allow better statistical compatibility between stages,
thus increasing production distribution. |

17. Expierence and availability of
performers in real time
|
| Virtual company offers a global panorama that the individual
experience can never match, regardless of how broad it may be. Knowing the
agendas of the singers whose repertoire includes roles you are interested
in casting allows you to operate rangings which optimize programming and
guarantee the performers' availability. You can track the progress of a
young artist, who, thanks to OperaManager.com, will have the same visibility
as more experienced artists. There is no course defined for the virtual
company; it depends on what you are searching for and why: you can check
an artist's availability during a certain period, as well as his experience
in a particular role, or you can decide to compile a company of singers
whose repertoire includes a given role but who have not yet performed it
onstage. It can also be used as starting point to obtain any other needed
information: all programmes use a circular connection system, allowing you
to start anywhere to obtain the desired result. |

18. Emergency substitions
|
| The emergency substitution of an artist in a well-known
opera does not imply a particular difficulty, even if economic or qualitative
compromise may sometimes result. The situation becomes more difficult, however,
if the opera is not part of the standard repertoire and you are unable to
find a performer who is available and prepared. Other unfavourable conditions
include: holiday, unavailability of the artist's direct address, inability
to track down an agent, absence of theatre personnel, etc., anything that
can aggravate the circumstances. OperaManager.com is a valid source of assistance
in such situations: if the desired singer is already booked and you have
to start from scratch, go to the virtual company and choose your theatre,
the opera, the period, and the performance dates. You can then access a
list of artists of interest. If a particular artist is not unavailable,
you can check to see what he is performing, where he is performing it, and
on which days he is occupied. After finding and appraising the desired artist,
you can access his personal card, from which it is possible to send an SMS
message directly to his phone and/or and e-mail, identify his agent, and
accomplish similar tasks with optimal chances of finding an immediate solution
to your problem. |
