“…Research has revealed that the different music modes derived from ancient Greece, have unique sounds associated to them which have the ability to evoke different forms of emotions (Whitfield, 2010). Given its long-standing association to human emotion and its popular application in a variety of research areas, it is no surprise that the last year has seen a steadily growing body of literature that looks at music and its effects on a person's emotional psyche and the role music plays, in helping people overcome issues of anxiety caused by isolation (Bell, 2021;Calvo, & Bejerano, 2020;Grigoriadou, 2020;Martínez-Castilla et al, 2021;Yeung, 2020;Ziv & Hollander, 2021). Research has also shown that making music can be beneficial for people in a number of ways, in particular giving people a sense of ownership and control over their lives and in forging connections with others (Bartlett, 2019;Bell, 2021;Calvo & Bejerano 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about rapid changes to all forms of human interaction and mobility from travel, work conditions, learning environments, to social activities. Around the world, individuals and communities had to deal with both health-related fears and stress, prompted by social distancing and isolation. While the health advantages of the quarantine order have been well documented, its emotional strain on people has had far reaching consequences. As a coping mechanism to deal with the stress of quarantine, the internet was suddenly flooded with posts and videos of people turning to music as a form of individual and communal healing. This paper looks at how communities around the world found solace in music as a form of solidarity that united people regardless of age, gender, nationality, creed and political affiliation. The prospects of music in presenting people with a sense of belonging in times of solitude is explored through the various accounts around the world on the healing power of music. Findings further strengthen previous works on the effects of music on a person’s emotional stability and as a means of communal solidarity.

Relaxation, when produced by participating in a theatre-for-one piece, requires work. From March to May 2020, with much of the world under a stay-at-home advisory to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, three performances carved out restorative spaces. These theatre-for-one pieces give participants rules to follow to ostensibly resist the neoliberal drive to productivity; yet those same rules structure acts of rest as productive under neoliberalism.

The Australian performing arts industry, in the decade prior to COVID-19, was operating on a knife's edge with dwindling attendance and reductions in revenue (Fanelli et al., 2019). Reverberations from the pandemic created a crucial tipping point for the ongoing viability of performing arts organizations, including the subject company, Big Opera (Westwood, 2020). Adding to the traditional challenges of appealing to generationally shifting audiences, COVID-19, with its aerosol infectivity, required vocal arts organizations to rethink their production methods and venues as a matter of business survival (Terracini, 2020). This study postulates that organizations such as Big Opera, while aiming to operationally reconfigure after the pandemic, also need marketing innovations to restore and enhance their brand relationships with customers to improve patronage. As such, the objective of this study is to examine traditionally successful brand resonance concepts of loyalty, attachment, community and engagement (Keller, 2001(Keller, , 2020 specifically for rebuilding and sustaining attendance at the opera in the post-crisis period. The paper responds to the calls by Kemp (2015, p. 186) to undertake research to, "examine arts engagement from a … situational perspective".Operatic events are the pinnacle of the performing arts industry, both artistically and financially. Fanelli et al. (2019, p. 78) stated that, "opera is one of the most fascinating forms of performing arts which gives expression to human passions and emotions at the crossroads between music and theatre". Further extending these sentiments, Edelman et al. (2016, p. 25) mentioned that "opera is one of the most aesthetically complex of art forms, often portrayed in the popular media as cultivating an "élite" audience with high cultural capital and
