Production Details, Media & Tickets

Manage every production in your season here, including its production information, media and tickets. What you enter is what displays to audiences on Operabase, and it also populates the profiles of the artists linked to the production. All your organisation's productions are listed under Seasons, where you can add new ones or edit existing entries.

Production information

• Production custom title: use when a production includes more than one musical work; mandatory for double or triple bills, adaptations, concerts, recitals or galas where the title differs from the musical work's own title.
• Add the production genre and staging type.
• Programme information: add all musical works in the programme; use "Programme not / partially announced" when it isn't fully announced yet, useful for concerts, galas and recitals.
• Produced by: the organisation responsible; add other names in the co-production section for a co-production.
• New production indicator: attaches a "New production" tag visible across the platform.
• Language & surtitles: helps audiences know if they'll understand the performance, and helps casting professionals see which languages an artist has experience performing in.

Production poster & trailer

Posters are required to announce any associated livestream or VOD. Trailers display on production pages and are featured in the production videos of every cast member who chooses to show them.

Tickets & sale dates

You can add one generic box office link per production, not one per performance date; it redirects users to the box office, where they select dates, times and seats.

Dates & times of performances, livestreams and VOD

Physical performances: select the month, year and each day of performance; you can add multiple performances on one day afterwards. Then select country, city and venue. If a venue isn't listed, double-check the city and country, or create and verify a new one. Correct country, city and venue information is what lets a production appear on Operabase's listings and venue or map pages.

Livestreams: select the month, year and each streaming day. A livestream needs a primary poster, a website link to where it can be watched, and the time and timezone before it appears in the Video section.

Full performance video / VOD: use this for a production available on demand; click "Add full performance video" and fill in as much information as possible. A production can have both livestream and physical dates, but you'll need to specify the cast for every date.

Managing dates

• Click Edit on a date (separate tabs for physical, livestream and VOD) to add the time (24-hour format), performance type (world premiere, national premiere, tour), or a different venue if needed.
• Use "Hosted by" only when another company is hosting and is not a co-producer.
• Use "Apply this same info for other selected dates" to copy details across several dates at once.
• To add another time on the same date, add one time, click Add time, and repeat.
• To delete a date, click it on the calendar or use the three dots and select Delete performance.
• To mark a date as cancelled, click it or use the three dots and select Mark as cancelled. The production must be published first; this option won't appear while it's in drafts.
• Use the "Mark as sold out" slider to indicate a performance is sold out.
