A dramatico-musical work is a theatrical show which has music specially written for it. This includes opera, musicals, ballet and some pantomimes and revues.
Posting excerpts of a dramatico-musical work available online is permitted under the terms of a LOML only if:
- The total duration of the excerpts does not exceed 20 minutes (or 5 minutes if the work is a ballet)
- The material in use is not a “potted version” of the original work
- The excerpt(s) do not cover a complete act of the work
If you do not meet the conditions above you should contact the publisher of the work to find out about using the music online.
There are certain other restrictions that apply to the music that can be covered by a LOML. We don't think these are likely to affect our groups but they are described in detail in the Terms and conditions - if you have any questions you can contact us.
