Understanding Red Masks on Operabase
Operabase offers a feature that helps to distinguish between verified and unverified performances through the use of red and grey masks. This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to request a red mask, the performance verification process, and the significance of these masks on the platform.
Red and Grey Masks Explained:
Operabase employs red masks to signify verified performances, validated either by the arts organisation or the Operabase team. These verified productions are visible across the platform, including the Casting Tool. On the other hand, grey masks denote unverified productions added directly by artists or agencies, visible only on the artist's profile.
