Attracting more first-timers


The Seattle Opera has put together an interesting program called "Confessions of a First-Time Opera Goer".  It's an online contest featuring five young people competing for the chance to be an official reporter during the preparation and performance of Wagner's "The Ring".

Each entrant has an application video posted on Seattle Opera's blog.  Voting ended last week.  The winner will file behind-the-scenes reports for the next few months leading up to opening night on August 9th.

I'm hoping to ask some questions of the contest's managers at Seattle Opera and share those with you in a future post.
