IN THE PRESS
OperaBreaks featured in Opera Canada –
"Since the beginning of the pandemic, streamed performances or 'digital operas' have been a lifeline for opera singers sidelined from their careers. Using technology, social media, and streaming platforms, singers have been able to share their talents with the world and maintain a connection to opera fans. Yet, as more and more singers took to the online, digital world, suddenly there were worries about standing out in a quickly overstuffed market. Furthermore, as the woman behind Domoney Artists Management soon noticed, the inexperience of the singers, with recording and editing their performances, left much to be desired when it came to demonstrating the quality of their voices."
Kemone Moodley, Opera Canada
