Case Study: Victorian Opera

Since 2018, Victorian Opera has conducted its revolutionary "Access All Areas" program, targeted at primary school students.   This program is not just about watching an opera performance; it's about understanding the intricacies of its creation, learning about the talented people behind the scenes, and interacting through an interactive website featuring live streams, video on demand and learning resources.  The program, designed to be intuitive, offers four live-streamed half-hour workshops on opera and a performance, subsequently made available for rewatching. Each session features a live Q&A session for both the online and physical audience.

Challenge and Solution:

Despite its ambitious vision, the program faced critical challenges in terms of live-streaming the workshops, identifying suitable production partners, selecting an optimal online platform for easy access by schools and teachers, and accurately recording and logging views. Moreover, finding the right support was a crucial concern.

Victorian Opera partnered with 5stream, a streaming company providing a comprehensive solution. The services included live studio video production, an over-the-top (OTT) platform, a fully branded website enabling school logins via a simple PIN, and a full analytics and reporting solution offering a complete overview of viewer statistics.

Filmed live within half a day in various rehearsal spaces, the agile production gave Victorian Opera the ability to engage with thousands of school students around the state without compromising on quality and showcasing Victorian Opera’s incredible talented performers all completely live and within limited rehearsal time.

The production features 4 full HD cameras, graphics, video playback, live sound design and a full HD web player and dedicated password protected micro-site for teachers and students to access.

Results:

The "Access All Areas" program has enjoyed immense success over five consecutive years, with the results improving each year. With almost 200 schools registering, thousands of students have experienced the world of opera in depth.
