Product description...

Building Teams for Artistic Productions Needs a Little Bit of Magic to Succeed....

The most important roles within any operatic production are not necessarily the most obvious. The book discusses the roles that are essential to any production’s final success and the best practices for casting agents to utilize when determining hiring choices in order to assemble the most creative, efficient and harmonious production team. The author delves into the characteristics and behaviors considered the most valuable when hiring specific cast and crew positions for full-scale, professional opera productions, and delineates a few of the typical pitfalls that casting agents and/or artistic directors can encounter when building a team for any production. Tips, “red flags”, band-aids and resources are provided for pursuing the best artists, focused primarily on issues encountered at the regional professional company level.
