I added you, if that's OK! I want to hear about your opera development! :D

tmcm February 25 2006, 20:51:32 UTC

course that's fine.

I gotta warn you, it's slow going.

you should definitely post on craigslist! it is the best way to find that kind of crew. probably post under "crew gigs." I'm not a producer, but if you need some kind of general assistant or odd job, I'm all over it.

tmcm February 25 2006, 22:15:06 UTC

Yep. It's funny, I thought to post to craigslist just after I posted here.

It was tough figuring out a category. I put it under tv/film. I didn't see a 'crew gig' section.

I'll keep you in mind for the gen ass. I'm not even sure what we'll need. I've never done this before.

trixiegirl February 26 2006, 05:30:09 UTC

oh, gigs are a separate category from jobs, they're below the jobs section when you're looking at the main page. But tv/film will be fine, I'm sure. People like me check both.

if you need a bassoonist, let me know.

tmcm February 27 2006, 06:01:23 UTC

you got it. drop me an email so I'll have your info.

my first step is to record some short sections. I was planning on just using a vocalist and piano.

I don't know anyone personally that would have enough experience you're looking for (they mostly deal in small small film shoots, etc.) but I just did some looking around online and found that putting in searches for "theatre" or "production" in the craigslist resumes section comes up with a few returns.

there is also a few sites like backstage jobs that have a contact sheet of freelance people who have experience in production. for more serious business listings you may make, talent zoo seems to have an active listing community though its definitely going to cost a lot more to post there than good ol' craigslist.

you might even consider finding different people for recruiting investors and then for production project management.

this is awesome- make it happen!

tmcm February 27 2006, 06:46:04 UTC

cool. good info. thanks. I have to log in for 'backstage jobs.' talent zoo like it has potential.

I'm starting to get emails from the craigslist ad.

You're right about the money person and the stage manager seem to be two very different groups.

palebythesea February 27 2006, 17:15:35 UTC

try "portoregon" for the user and "upstage" for the password. when I linked directly to the contact sheet instead of just the main page it skipped the part where it told you the info.

craigslist may be all you need though, its amazing how many responses you can get.

Opera or more like a musical?

tmcm February 27 2006, 05:48:20 UTC

It's an opera. Leans toward cabaret style.

got some connections?

girl_on_a_stick February 27 2006, 06:22:01 UTC

Cabaret style opera? I'm confused. Opera does not equal cabaret in my mind, but perhaps it's just semantics.
Sorry, not trying to sound snobbish at all, but I know people, but only if it were a more traditional opera, hence my nitpicking here.

tmcm February 27 2006, 06:42:59 UTC

It's an opera. It's cabaret in the story style and scale.

email me, I'll shoot you some of the stuff.
