IN SEARCH OF A MAGIC FLUTE - DAVID RANAN KARTON...

This book investigates the public funding of opera in Britain and Germany and the nature of
failures of decision making in the allocation of funds to opera companies. A description of the
funding systems in Germany and in Britain is followed by case studies in both countries. The
case studies reveal that the funding bodies have never defined their aims well. However  it is
also shown that this lack of well-defined objectives is not the root of the problem. Powerplay
of stakeholders and inadequate management of power politics are the reason for the failures in
the implementation of policy vis-à-vis opera companies. A decision-making model as a practical
and realistic solution is proposed for funding bodies in Britain and Germany. The suggested
model covers the full range of decision-making situations confronting public funding bodies of
opera companies.
