The Greek National Opera announces that performances of the production of Mozart’s opera Le nozze di Figaro will start on Wednesday 27 March 2019, due to technical reasons.
Co-OPERAtive: An intercultural and collaborative opera hub for young people designed by GNO’s Learning & Participation Department has been shortlisted for the Education Prize of Fedora, the European Platform supporting innovation in Opera, Ballet and Education. Co-OPERAtive is an opera hub for a mixed group of 60 young Athenians and unaccompanied minor asylum seekers aged 15-17 across Attica. This project will be implemented in partnership with ARSIS and The HOME Project.
This project is inspired by the ability of opera – as a universal art form that encompasses all art forms – to function as a common language for creating the first intercultural youth opera hub in Europe. Inspired by its dreams and aspirations, this project aims to create as its artistic output, the first intercultural and collaborative opera created by a youth opera company. Co-OPERAtive will be contesting with a plethora of other education projects around Europe and its implementation that is scheduled to begin in January 2020.
From the 2nd to the 22nd of February, you can support us by voting HERE
Your vote will be much appreciated!

In cooperation with the Athens Municipality Musical Ensembles

On a small barren island called Sazan, its few inhabitants have gathered at the village square to celebrate five years since the day princess Dolly took over the administration and turned the place into a peculiar princedom. However, the islanders do not seem so pleased. Gossip runs wild and the foreign domination gives rise to many objections and discussions. Princess Dolly is an eccentric rich American who bought the island from the Albanians and spends her money to satisfy her crazy tastes, while her government consists of a gang of embezzlers who flatter her weakness to serve their own interests, exploiting the island.
The grievances reach the princess’s ears and she sends the prime minister, the chamberlain and the maid in honour to conduct a research on what the people think about her administration. They appear to the islanders disguised as foreigners, and the information they collect proves to be anything but flattering. Fortunately, the arrival of the princess herself, who gives away money to all her subjects and offers them rich spectacles, changes the mood of the people, who get excited and praise the beautiful and charming ruler. Two foreigners from Epirus stand out among the crowd at the fair. They are there because one of them, Vangos, is in love with the princess and wants to protect her from an imminent attack prepared by the Albanians against her island. He rushes to warn her about the lurking danger, and perhaps, confess his love to her. What follows is a series of tragicomic incidents culminating in a happy ending, far from mundane pettiness.

Μια σειρά από εκπαιδευτικά και ερευνητικά εργαστήρια του έργου Creability θα φιλοξενηθούν στην Εθνική Λυρική Σκηνή στο Κέντρο Πολιτισμού Ίδρυμα Σταύρος Νιάρχος από τις 18 έως και τις 23 Φεβρουαρίου 2019. Τα εργαστήρια διοργανώνονται από το Συνεργείο Μουσικού Θεάτρου Λάρισας σε συνεργασία με τις Εκπαιδευτικές και Κοινωνικές Δράσεις της ΕΛΣ.
Στα εργαστήρια του Creability, ερευνητές, καλλιτέχνες και εκπαιδευτές στις παραστατικές τέχνες, φέρνουν στην Αθήνα γνώσεις, μεθόδους και καλλιτεχνικά/εκφραστικά εργαλεία, προκειμένου να δοκιμαστούν υπό την επίβλεψη αλλά και με τη συμμετοχή καλλιτεχνών με αναπηρίες. Στόχος είναι οι επιλεγμένες μέθοδοι και τα εργαλεία που θα προκύψουν από αυτή τη σύμπραξη να δημιουργήσουν γόνιμο έδαφος για τον επαναπροσδιορισμό της καλλιτεχνικής εκπαίδευσης και παραγωγής υπό το πρίσμα της προσβασιμότητας και της συμπερίληψης.
Το έργο Creability είναι μια διεθνής πρωτοβουλία του Ευρωπαϊκού δικτύου Un-Label (https://un-label.eu/en/), χρηματοδοτείται από το πρόγραμμα Erasmus+ και αφορά τη συμπερίληψη ατόμων με αναπηρίες σε δημιουργικές και καλλιτεχνικές δράσεις. Πραγματοποιείται παράλληλα σε Ελλάδα και Γερμανία με τη συνεργασία 3 εταίρων: του Συνεργείου Μουσικού Θεάτρου από τη Λάρισα (www.smouth.com), ενός από τους πιο ενεργούς οργανισμούς σε εθνικό επίπεδο στο θέμα της συμπερίληψης στις παραστατικές τέχνες, του Τεχνικού Πανεπιστημίου του Ντόρτμουντ και του Κέντρου Pusteblume της Κολωνίας.
