It’s Never Too Early Or Too Late To Learn About Eye Tracking In Mobile User Experience Research
Just a quick post today to point out an excellent article by Mariana Macedo at Smashing Magazine that examines eye-tracking within mobile devices, an endeavor most nonprofit performing arts orgs won’t have the luxury of exploring. As a result, resources like this are that much more valuable in that they allow groups insight into larger patterns that can translate to their own sites. There’s a good bit of basic information to ...

Taking Zarathustra on-line: orchestra of Opera North from their homes in Yorkshire join conductor Tobias Ringborg in Sweden for Strauss' epic tone poem
When the orchestra of Opera North's concerts at Leeds Town Hall and Huddersfield Town Hall with conductor Tobias Ringborg were cancelled, the players in the orchestra were, to put in mildly, annoyed. Two players, Daniel Bull (cello) and Lourenço Macedo Sampaio (viola), had the idea to continue on-line, so conductor Tobias Ringborg conducted the first five minutes of Richard Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra (one of the works due to be performed) in an empty church in Stockholm with just a piano, then 40 individual players from the orchestra recorded their own contribution to be added. The results are remarkable, and can be seen on YouTube.Whilst we look forward with anticipation to Opera North's 2020/21 season (booking for which has just opened), we can look back on previous productions available on-line, including Wagner's complete Ring Cycle and the recent revival of Alessandro Talevi's production of Britten's Turn of the Screw.

Its fortunes certainly seem to have picked up recently: I saw it in Paris last year; Salzburg staged it this summer too. (Alas, it simply did not fit into my schedule.) I can hardly talk of the need to look beyond […]

New mayor scraps major Brazil festival
[…] concerts simultaneously occurring in different parts of city, stimulating tourism during a dull time of year. The Festival is secured since 2012 by a specific Law, and the 2017 edition is part of the text of the budgetary Laws annually approved by the City Council, and represents 0.019% of the Curitiba’s total expenditure planned for the this year. After winning the elections, but before assuming the position, the elected city Mayor, Mr. Rafael Greca de Macedo, decided to cancel the event, justifying it with the argument that “he did not have enough information about the economical situation of the city”. Still in charge, the now former Mayor, Gustavo Fruet, showed that a part of the resources were already spent on the pre-production of the event, and, that from the economical point of view there was no reason not to proceed with the event. Mr. Greca de Macedo decided to cancel […]
