Date: July 5-9
Location: Liceu Opera
Small-format operas. Oh!pera is a project launched by the Gran Teatre del Liceu to commission four small-format operas for performance on the same evening. Teams of young people selected in cooperation with five Barcelona design schools have worked for over a year to devise these energy-packed shows, each of which lasts about thirty minutes.
The singers will share tales about their traumas, vulnerable secrets, impossible dreams and expectations with members of the audience as the latter tour the innermost recesses of the opera house, each show gaining forcefulness by being acted at close quarters.
Participants include composers with ties to Barcelona and their chosen librettists, young stage directors whose productions are made with schools of drama, design and applied arts, locally born singers, and chamber ensembles made up of musicians from the Liceu's conservatory. For the creative artists of tomorrow, this first chance to work at the Liceu will be a leap into the void.
