The Association for Recorded Sound Collections presents the following program from ARSC’s 56th Annual Conference on Friday May 20, 2022:
SAN FRANCISCO OPERA AT 100: CONNECTING WITH THE COMPANY’S FIRST CENTURY
presented by Jeff McMillan and Barbara Rominski, San Francisco Opera
Beginning in September 2022, San Francisco Opera will become only the third American opera company to present its 100th season. In recognition of this milestone, the Company is creating a free online hub for interacting with selected audio and visual assets from its first century.
The Historic Recordings Project will feature eight full opera performances drawn from San Francisco Opera’s audio holdings along with excerpted audio from piano rolls, early broadcasts, institutional archival captures, unsanctioned house recordings, and other media resources.
The two editors for the project, San Francisco Opera archives director Barbara Rominski and public relations director Jeffery McMillan, will discuss the scope of the project, which launches with the Centennial Season, and the importance of using musical artifacts and opera performances to illuminate the company’s story.
This sneak-peak introduction to the project will cover issues such as permissions, transferring media formats, condition of source audio, addressing gaps in the record, and meeting the expectations of a passionate constituency while also creating an inclusive framework of discovery for newcomers and the opera curious.
