Abstract:
The present Doctoral Dissertation explores one possibility to solve the sustainability problem that the Opera is facing by creating Multilevel and Multidisciplinary Opera Camps. These experiences where all Opera stakeholders (communities, students, and professionals) can interact and be part of the Opera experience in a sustainable way. By framing Opera and Arts as Cultural Commons, the dissertations allows a broader understanding of the full Opera complexities, their benefits to societies, and the responsibilities all society members have to secure their sustainability. Specifically, through in depth analysis of the concept of Opera Camps and multiple Opera programs around the globe (Chapter 1), Arts Administration Literature, and Polycentric and Cultural Commons Governance frameworks; the author creates the MAP Models (Music, Artistic, and Pedagogic governing models) for Opera Camps (Chapter 2). Similarly, the ABC Models (Administrative, Business, and Community Models) are addressed by the Author in other publications. The MAP and ABC Models identify the challenges and goals that need to be addressed in the creation and leadership of these Opera Camps defining the model that can be adapted under the unique specificities of the cities, opera companies, universities, or other entities interested in creating a viable and sustainable Opera experience.
