La Boheme at lunch! Thanks to the San Francisco Opera for bringing a delightful midday treat to the moonshot factory and delivering a special, abridged version of the opera on a stage fashioned from a shipping container. We loved spending our lunch hour listening to your stunning voices — and prototyping new types of hats out of the program materials to keep the sun out of our eyes!
How do the respondents of our Limerick City Centre survey view the Developments taking place? 🏗 Opera Square, currently under development by Limerick Twenty Thirty DAC, was voted as the development with most city centre transformation potential. However, general overall plans for the city are not seen in such a positive light, with 51% of respondents believing the overall plan for the city centre is not ambitious enough and worryingly 32% are not aware of any plans. To see our recommendations to counteract these issues; read our document here: https://lnkd.in/ezGZjWm8
👀 Have you seen this TEDxTalk on OPERA by OperaDelaware's VP of Engagement Kerriann Otaño?! 👀 Kerriann passionately explores how the traditional dialogue around opera can lead to gatekeeping, hindering its full impact on communities. Without joyful advocacy, opera risks being perceived as elitist and exclusive, deterring curious minds. At BLO, our 5 core values are Boldness, Collaboration, Connection, Learning, and Belonging. Kerriann speaks to each of these in her talk. One of our favorite takeaways is: "Where we believe we belong is where we show up." We believe that YOU belong at the opera. More on her talk: Opera is so much more than Viking horns and Valhalla. The traditional way that we talk about opera leads to gatekeeping and has limited our ability to see all that opera can mean to a community. Without joyful advocacy, opera's reputation for elitism and exclusivity will continue to drive away curious audiences. In this TEDxOldHickory talk, former opera singer and eternal Opera Hype Girl, Kerriann Otaño, talks about audience and artist advocacy through the power of authenticity. The connection between grief and gratitude, vulnerability and belonging, has played an important role in Kerriann Otaño's career shift from professional opera singer to Vice President of Engagement. https://lnkd.in/eBat-z_4 #opera #TEDx TEDx #joyfuladvocacy #youbelong
Would you ever have imagined singing opera with your colleagues? During ProRail's Summer School, our Opera Innovator Céline Janssen introduced a brave collection of colleagues to the power of opera - and most of all: to the power of their own voice and performance. Céline showed that opera is a powerful analogy to some of the dynamics of innovation: 🗣️ How do you use your voice in innovation projects? 👂 How do you communicate with everyone involved? 📚 What is the story you tell to get everyone moving in the direction you want them to move? 🪄 How do you orchestrate an often complex environment, leading it to better futures? Now the question for you is... How do you make history by changing the future of your performance? #ProRail #Innovation #OperaInnovator
