Synchronisation rights

As a theatre maker or production company, do you want to use existing music in your theatre or dance performance?  Then always ask the music publishers and the record company for permission beforehand.

This permission is called the synchronisation right. The publisher and record company decide whether you may use the work and in return for what fee.
