We hope to have 40% of our audience identify themselves as attending opera for the first time and increase attendance of youth in our audience. Audience survey questions will measure the effect of attending Dr. Falstaff on their appreciation of operatic musical theater, sustainable local food production, and regional Minnesota history. We will also feedback from community partners and host venues following each performance, and obtaining feedback from the project's artistic and administrative staff following the end of the tour.
In our surveys, 35% of the audience indicated that this was their first experience with live opera. This is an improvement from last years 30%, but this did not reach our goal of 40%. BUT 43% of those surveyed indicated that it has "been a long time" since they attended an opera performance.
