Comment on SHOULD WORKSHOPS BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC? by Vincent-louis

I haven’t done anything with the theatre in a very long time, but in film making as with most artistic endeavors audience feed back is crucial. The creator is often too close to the work to see obvious flaws since he/she knows too much about the background of the piece. It takes a fresh eye to realize something is missing after you yourself have seen it a million times. A confident artist will take it as a way to improve and better understand the work through the eyes of the people it is actually being made for and make decisions on changes based on what is learned. As long as the artists themselves make the decisions (not the marketing department) and, as Larry says, show the work when it is already well developed, it can only help in the creative process.

Thank you so much for establishing this connection to the artists and the music. It’s a privilege to see the work involved and the skill and talent it requires to put an opera together. How remarkable to watch these extraordinary musicians create something magical we can all share.
