- 10AM
With Director of Production Neil Kutner and Production Supervisor Paul Bartlett
This day-long seminar offers an in-depth look at how a production gets presented at BAM, from budgeting, to design, to production management, and more. BAM Director of Production Neil Kutner and Production Supervisor Paul Bartlett walk participants through the Canadian Opera Company’s production of Semele this season—and the unique challenges involved in bringing a restored 17-ton temple to the BAM stage.
