San Diego Opera has announced that it will host “Opera Hack,” a two-day interdisciplinary summit with the intention of finding new ways to enhance the production, presentation, and consumption of opera.
“Opera Hack,” which is sponsored by Microsoft and is supported by OPERA America Innovation Grant and the Gordon Getty Foundation, will take place on July 27 and 28, 2019 at the Microsoft Corporation Headquarters in San Diego.
During the course of two days, experts from different fields will partner with local universities and tech companies to solve a number of scenarios.
“Scenarios might include: how can mixed reality be used to create an interactive experience for an opera production? How can projection design be used for a costume change? Can virtual reality be used to preview a production before committing resources to build it? How can augmented reality improve supertitles and our understanding of the opera,” noted the press release for the event.
