The (Òh!)pera offers a new formula for collaboration between public cultural institutions, professionals from artistic disciplines and new generations of creators, in an initiative which will materialise this summer on 9 and 10 July, with the performance of four micro operas lasting 30 minutes each and covering current issues.

Over the coming months, the works will be developed by students from art and design schools in the city (BAU, ELISAVA, EINA, LCI and Escola Massana) and the composers selected from the project Barcelona Creació Sonora from the Barcelona Institute of Culture (ICUB), Marc Migó, José Río-Pareja, Núria Giménez-Comas and Fabià Santcovsky.

Four small-format operas

The works making up the (Òh!)pera project will also include artistic and stage direction by professionals from different creative spheres. The four projects are:

  • Shadow. Eurydice Says. This will be performed in the Foyer, with Alícia Serrat tasked with stage direction. The music is composed by Núria Giménez-Comas, with Elfriede Jelinek’s libretto translated by Gitta Honegge and based on the text by N.G.C. and Anne Monfor. Students from the Escola Elisava will be participating in this project.
  • L’ocell redemptor. This piece will be offered in the Miralls space, with Marc Chornet tasked with stage direction. The music and the libretto are by Fabià Santcovsky. Students from the EINA will be participating in this project.
  • The Fox Sisters. This piece will be offered in the Teatri space, with Silvia Delagneau tasked with stage direction. The music is by Marc Migó and the libretto by Lila Palmer. Students from the BAU will be participating in this project.
