How to Write an Opera in the 21st Century: Digital Music and the Dawn of Internet Collaboration

Lee Scott's Interactive Web Opera "The Village" It used to be that if you wanted to write an opera , you would need access to a full production company, an orchestra, a hall, stagehands and theater personnel, costumes, and more. You would need a librettist and a composer and a stage director, divas and extras, maybe even a donkey. This would require resources well beyond most composers, often thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of dollars.  But today, if you want to write an opera you can take a few shortcuts that allow you to write an opera for close to free using digital technology and Internet collaboration. The truth of the matter is that you can access online any singer, librettist, instrumentalist, or actor that you need (well, maybe except for the donkey, who probably doesn't have the Internet). Some of the ways you can access these individuals includes: Posting on Message Boards Contacting University Music Departments Posting Virtual Audi...

PRESS RELEASE: Experimental Composer Produces Opera vis Internet

Libertaria: The Virtual Opera PRESS RELEASE: For Immediate Release Experimental composer Sabrina Peña Young wanted to create an opera - without leaving her apartment! So she rounded up an international cast and crew using crowdsourcing, Music Xray, and social networks to create a cutting edge, and slightly psychotic, animated opera. "I wanted to create an opera that didn't require a concert hall, an opera that would reach out to a digital generation through social networking and online media. And to be honest, I wanted to create a nutty sci-fi opera about a renegade girl who defeats evil geneticists. I'm a nerd at heart. "  After two years in production, Libertaria: The Virtual Opera will wrap up summer of 2013. The dedicated opera cast has never met in person for rehearsals and contacts Young entirely through e-mail and Skype. The small animation team uses machinima, an animation style popularized by gamer fan videos.  Libertaria: The Virtual Opera will ...
