| Popis: | This article draws on work undertaken in Melbourne, Australia, 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, and reveals how the traditions of tertiary teaching and opera production were both challenged and extended to become newly imagined and realised. Insights are offered into how the author of this article worked with students, tertiary staff, and opera professionals across that extraordinary period of two major lockdowns in 2020 and how the experience shifted parameters for future work. The production discussed is Die Zauberflöte (Mozart/Schikaneder), rehearsed with students undertaking their capstone assessments of the Master of Music in Opera Performance at the University of Melbourne, working online across an extended period of Covid-19 lockdown and then returning to the live studio as the second Melbourne lockdown ended. The work required many adaptations, including the use of a multi-tracked sound recording, green screen video capture and post-production animation. In a critical reflection of the time, as coordinator of the course and as author of this article, I offer my experiences and observations of behaviours encountered, illustrated, and amplified by video clips and photos. This article brings together empirical and theoretical work related to emergent themes of creativity, group work, and mental health. |
