Animated Opera

Opera and animation are two seemingly incompatible artforms – however, every time they meet they end up to an original, imaginative and magical result! And that’s a good reason to offer the unique chance to students of Art Junior and Senior High Schools in Attica to create their own original animated videos of GNO’s performances for a second year. Through a creative process, the Animated Opera programme invites students to draw inspiration from Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and Stravinsky’s ballets. After attending the rehearsals of the performances, they get to work while having by their side experienced filmmakers. First, they learn the basic principles of animation and get acquainted with audiovisual media and the technical equipment. Music, libretto and choreography form the basis of their inspiration to experiment and expand their skills in visual arts, composition and story-telling. Later on, they film original scenes using the stop motion animation technique and produce their own original sound effects. The animated video is completed with the editing and the synthesis of image and sound.

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS PER SCHOOL: 16 students
