Participate in the Making of an Opera

An Opera in Five Acts is a project of  Vision Forum realised in collaboration with DRAF.

FIG. 5. AN OPERA IN FIVE ACTS at DAVID ROBERTS ARTS FOUNDATION

An Opera in Five Acts is initiated and led by Fatos Ustek and Per Huttner with Ariella Yedgar, Joel Vacheron, Annalisa Sonzogni, Jean Louis Huhta, Anna Berglind and Manuela Ribadeniera.

An Opera in Five Acts is an interactive production of an imaginary opera. Each act is treated as the place a development for one aspect or components that make up an opera. We devote one sessions each to: the libretto, the stage, the musical instruments, the choreography and the music. Opera in Five Acts is based on the conceptual framework of the exhibition "A House of Leaves" and builds on the artworks that are being shown.

An Opera in Five Acts invites the audience to take part in the course of its production. If you want to participate write to info@davidrobertsartfoundation. You are welcome to participate in ACT I-IV. ACT V will not host audience participation. For more info about times for the acts and its content look below.
