Abstract

The authors focus on spectators' judgements on the performance quality in opera. The results of a field study conducted in Dessau Opera House revealed the single components (e.g. orchestra) and the congruency components (e.g. congruency between the music and the staging dimension) which contribute to operagoers' overall quality judgements. Spectators' individual judgements were found to be highly homogeneous, with only minor differences between experts and non-experts. Implications for the production and the management of opera are discussed.
