Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Opera Festival will provide an opportunity for audience members to hear quality operatic and orchestral music, which is otherwise unavailable to people in the immediate Austin area. We will conduct an online survey after the performance and collect all attendance data for future reference. Our survey will focus on aspects of learning about opera.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We provided the opportunity for musicians and guest artists to perform (goal 1) and also provided a quality arts experience for our audience (goal 2).
