On Site Opera (OSO) is a professional opera company based in New York City that specializes in site-specific productions. The company was founded in 2012 by General and Artistic Director Eric Einhorn and Executive Director/Producer Jessica Kiger.[1] On Site Opera, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is member of Opera America and the New York Opera Alliance.[2][2]
Initiatives
Education Initiative On Site Opera has produced works such as Shostakovich's "The Tale of the Silly Baby Mouse" at the Bronx Zoo in 2012[3] as part of its Education Initiative in order to expand how children encounter, understand, and engage with opera.
Technology and Green Initiatives: On Site Opera utilizes environmentally-friendly production technology in order to reduce its environmental impact. Through their partnership with CS Lighting, they use energy efficient, wireless LED SFK fixtures. 90% of all marketing materials are digital and recycled paper and ink are used for the other 10%.
In 2014, On Site Opera was the first opera company to explore how Google Glass can be used as a means to transmit subtitles. Figaro Systems[4] created the software in which the translation of Rameau's Pygmalion was sent to Google Glass, allowing the opera-goer to experience opera and translation in their field of vision at the same time. [5]
Emerging Artist Initiative On Site Opera provides opportunities for emerging talent through an open audition call.
