Soňa Zapletalová
Foreign relations manager - National Moravian-Silesian Theatre
National Moravian-Silesian Theatre
Hi, I am Soňa Zapletalová and I take care of foreign issues in the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre in Ostrava, Czech Republic. As an overview of all the theatres and festivals worldwide, it is a useful source when looking for a coproducer and its basic info or comparing the theatres’ up-to-date repertoires. And I believe that there are even more benefits I most probably haven’t explored yet. The casting tool is priceless to our production manager of opera, especially when covering last-minute changes and jump-ins. I appreciate indeed the very kind and supportive approach of all the Operabase staff members.
Michael Gandlmayr
Artistic Administrator at Cleveland Orchestra
Cleveland Orchestra
There are so many moving parts in mounting a successful opera production and in many aspects, it is even more challenging for us as we don’t operate year-round as an opera house. The resources and detailed information that Operabase provides us have been invaluable, from the early stages of research and casting to the inevitable last-minute cancellations.
Göran Gademan
Casting coordinator, Opera of Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden
1) Göran Gademan, casting coordinator at the Göteborg Opera, Sweden 2) Many times, to find a quick replacement for an ill singer, but also when we search for a singer in a certain part later on that we don't have in the ensemble and that is a bit tricky to cast. Often a very demanding role then. 3) That you can see everywhere what happens, who has sung what etc.
