Never say never - when I did my talk on "Web 2.0" at the end of last month, I claimed that I didn't know of any Danish cultural institutions that used a blog. Shame on me. Not only did I shortly after discover the blog of the Turbotown project, now it turns out that two members of the Royal Opera Choir have been blogging about their life as singers "behind" the scene since early november (thanks, Politiken, for the link). It's a blogspot blog using a standard template, and there are no pictures of the writers, descriptions of or direct links to them, so it comes across as somewhat anonymous (you wonder: who are the voices speaking? don't they want to express anything with their design? etc), but the content seems serious, interesting and engaged at a first glance and that is the most important criteria of success, especially in the beginning, I believe.

On a sidenote, I tried to track down the identity of both writers, but it turns out that two "Ole's" are singing in the choir, so who are you, Ole-blogger? (because Im quite sure that I took singing lessons with the Ole Norup-Ole several years ago, that's how small Denmark is...).
