WORKSHOP OPEN TO COMPOSERS, PLAYWRIGHTS, AUTHORS, STAGE DIRECTORS, CONDUCTORS, SCENOGRAPHERS, LIGHTING, COSTUME AND VISUAL ARTS CREATORS... IN MID-CAREER, AND WITH OR WITHOUT OPERA EXPERIENCE
Offered for several years to young creators from all disciplines, the Opera Creation Workshop is a place for reflection and discussion on artistic opera-related issues. This workshop usually seeks to define, discuss current values of opera and the tasks it will assume in the future and reflects on opera creation today and on the multidisciplinary aspects that it encompasses. This year, the workshop will take place entirely online over a period of five days and will encourage discussions that reflect on the sanitary crisis that we are all facing at the moment. The discussions will be fueled by the interventions of the stage directors Peter Sellars and Simon McBurney and Professor Didier Sicard who have been invited to speak during the workshop. The workshop itself will be led by the Franco-Lebanese writer Amin Maalouf – elected to the Académie française in 2011.
The workshop is exclusively held in English.
