April 2017: Starting a career in opera

You have just finished your vocal studies and are ready to take on the world and conquer the opera stages by storm. But as you know, it is not quite as easy as that. Especially if you cant even get an audition with an agent, let alone with an opera house. The ways for a young opera singer to get a job have greatly changed. For that reason, Zenaida des Aubris, Consultant for International Cultural Events with over 30 years of international experience in management and production of classical music, will show you how to you can give your opera career a startup kick using everything from online platforms to social media, competitions and good old personal contacts.

To be successful in your self-branding as an artist, you have to think of yourself as a commodity, a product, a brand. Therefore it is well worth investing time and effort in self-management and self-promotion. The first international edition of our Arts Management Webinar on digital tools and latest developments in arts management will introduce you into how to consider yourself an entrepreneur.

Zenaida will explain how an own website, social media profiles and special digital resources for self-management and presentation as an artist can help you in self-promotion and self-branding. What is the importance nowadays of attending master classes, taking summer classes or partaking in competitions? Maybe they are even increasing since they give young singers the opportunity to network and help them hone their social skills. Zenaida will also explain why it does not hurt to know how arts institutions operate and communicate with their visitors and communities and what tools these decision makers to find the right artists.

After her approx. 40 minute long presentation, there will be an approx. 20 minute long Q & A session.
