Abstract | On the 24th August 2016, the culminating performance of Opera Queensland’s ‘Project Rossini’ production of The Barber of Seville was held at Toowoomba’s Empire Theatre. The performance was the last in a series of 8 performances across Queensland between July and August 2016. This report outlines an evaluation of the Toowoomba production of The Barber of Seville. Of particular focus are the intentions that underpinned the tour and Opera Q’s commitment to ensuring that regional performers and audiences were engaged as an integral component of the performance. Further to this, the approaches taken by Opera Q for considering the place of the performing arts (and opera specifically) within the regional performance landscape, and the role that regionally based performers and audiences provided as a foundation for touring performing arts productions offer added points of consideration. The lessons drawn from the approach deployed by Opera Q have resonance broadly for touring creative and performing arts ventures, with this report offering an analysis of the implications derived from the Toowoomba production of The Barber of Seville. |
