DIAL-A-DIVA is a project by Zoë Irvine. It will be hosted in Stavanger, 
Norway and will be available worldwide. It is part of Stavanger2008 
European Cultural Capital celebrations.

DIAL-A-DIVA harks back to the period of the theatrophone. The 
theatrophone was a broadcasting medium from the 1880s to 1920s. It 
connected opera houses and theatres to audiences using the telephone 
network. This pre-dates radio as the world’s first broadcasting medium.

DIAL-A-DIVA also connects an audience and performers by telephone, but 
uses today’s telecommunications networks to span the globe. Each 
artist’s performance is transmitted via their telephone into a 
conference call. The audience can then dial in to listen to the 
phonecast. An internet webcast will also be available.

The event will start in New Zealand at 8pm local time. We will follow 
8pm around the world with artists participating throughout Australasia, 
Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the Americas. It will 
culminate 24 hours later as 8pm crosses the dateline once more.

The DIAL-A-DIVA concept was developed by Zoë in 2004, with the help of 
a Creative Scotland Award.

Call +44 (0) 1452 552 816 or listen to the webstream at 
www.dialadiva.net
on September 8th  2007 to hear performances from around the globe.
