Adding a production

Login to Operabase and click on your image / avatar / initials on the top right.

Click on your company page and you will be redirected to your company landing page. Click on the Edit button to start making changes / updates.

Navigate to the Season tab where you will find a list of all production that we have on file for your organisation.

You will have 2 options - Add production or Revive production. If you opt to add a production, you will first be prompted to search the existing published productions (this is to help you add a production quicker and / or avoid creating duplicates). However, if it's a revival of a production from a previous season, select the revive option and pick which data to copy over.

Add production:

Click on Add a production and search for the production in our system. You will get a full list of already published productions that match the filters you’ve selected. Please scroll through the entire list before adding a duplicate / new production. Fill in as many filters as possible to narrow your search.

If the production is on Operabase:

Select the production from the list. Click the arrow near the date to expand the details on that production. Once you’ve check the details, click Associate your arts organisation with this production.

You will be redirected to the edit screen of the published production. Your arts organisation will be automatically added as a co-producer of this production, ie. associated with this production. 

Ensure you check all the sections of this production, cast & crew, dates, performing venue and photos, video, reviews added earlier to this published production. Once finished, click on the arrow to head back to your schedule and confirm that the production is listed.

If the production is not on Operabase:

Once you have searched for the production in our system and it does not appear, click on Proceed to add new production.

The process has multiple steps and you will need to include as much information as possible in order to be able to publish the production.

1. Add a musical work by clicking on Add musical work details and add the composer and musical work.
2. Indicate how the work is performed by selecting an option from the checkboxes. 
3. If the production has a custom title, please include it in the Production custom title field.
4. Select the Producer of the production (Company, Festival or Other). You can search the name in the search bar or create a new entity if it is not listed on our platform.
5. Add a website link for the production in the Tickets & sale dates section.
6. Select the performance date/dates (you can also indicate if there is a live stream date and for past productions, you have the option to add a full performance video).
7. Add the Cast & Crew.  This step is very important to make the production visible across all artists' profiles featured in your production.
8. Please check each tab and add more information to the production such as videos, images, ticket links and more
9. Click on Publish once you're done.
10. If you are not ready to publish the production and would like to continue editing it at a later date, please click on drafts to view the production and continue editing.

Revive production

Many popular works from the repertoire are revived each season. Please use this feature to add a production unless it is a musical work that has never been performed at the company / festival.

2. Once you have identified the production you'd like to add to your season, select it and choose what information you'd like copied over.
3. Add details to the relevant sections.
4. Once you're done click on Publish.
5. If you are not ready to publish the production and would like to continue editing it at a later date, please click on drafts to view the production and continue editing.
