6. Productions Search
Access by the principal intern menu. Productions research
gives you the possibility to choose between two options that can be used
singulary or combined:
a) Title search: lists all productions
of this title present in the database (past and future);
b) Period search: lists all productions
which have been realized or will be realized during this period;
c) Combined search of title and period:
lists all productions of this title which have been realized or will be
realized during the selected period.
To try the production search functions on OperaManager.com:
go to >> Productions
search
This type of search permits agencies and artists to have a panoramic
view of productions all over the world, and to find out the availability
of an artist: you can access detailed information about roles not yet
cast and thus use the opportunity to contact new theatres. Theatres can
monitor national-level productions to avoid overlap or duplication, and
can nominate themselves for co-productions at an international level.
This feature can also be used to assemble the most diverse cast possible,
using all available artists who have sung roles difficult to cast (see
7. virtual company for this topic).
7. Virtual company and MultiMailer
This programme allows the user to verify,
in relation to the selected title, the experience and availability of
all artists for various roles in the opera. The first steps can be accessed
even by non subscribers:
a) Theatre choice, opera title and period;
b) Selection of the artist’s representation information.
Try the virtual company functions of OperaManager.com:
go to >> Virtual
company
After this choice, the virtual company shows a list of
the opera roles corresponding to three figures: the first on right-hand
side (column: Production) shows the number of singers listed who have
performed the selected role in a production included in the database;
the central figure (column: Availability) shows how many of the singers
from these productions are available during the chosen period; the third
figure (in brackets. column: Repertoire) shows the number of singers who
have this role in their repertoire. When you click on one of these numbers,
you will access a list of singers grouped according to their experience
in the role. Singers who have never performed roles in their repertoire
onstage will be signalled by a 0 (zero):
The singer's name links to his card, on which it is possible
to send him an E-mail or an SMS message to his mobile phone; the indication
"agency" links to the relevant card (agency representing the
artist ? daily agenda of artist's engagments); the availability indication
links to the daily engagments of the artist. When you select one or more
names for every role, they will appear corresponding to the roles on the
principal screen.
MultiMailer function
Function of the virtual company reserved to the appointed general manager
or artistic director of the selected theatre: once the virtual cast has
been completed, the director can send a list of available roles in this
opera to agents; or, if represented artists are not found, directly to
singers, simply by pressing the MultiMailer button and confirming the
sending. Every addressee receives a personal message; the sender receives
a report of all sent messages.
