Our Board Member Valentí Oviedo has invited the Opera Europa spring conference around his premiere of Lohengrin directed by Katharina Wagner, and with this as a focal point of our event, we expect our members to join us just coming out of their weekend. A first for Opera Europa!
This conference is an opportunity to celebrate the funding of the new Opera Europa Next Generation platform, with discussions on the next generation of artistic talent, of management, of jobs, and of audiences. It will be the opportunity for the official launch of Opera Europa’s new Young Artists Programmes forum, as well as the first convening of Opera Europa’s new CEO forum. There will also be a strong focus on sustainability issues.
The conference will open late morning on Sunday 16 March, but early travellers and those of you interested in recruiting new talent could already attend the presentations of their team’s work by our Opera Management Course participants, who will have spent the week preparing in Sabadell, followed by the general rehearsal of Lohengrin at the Liceu or Nabucco by Òpera a Catalunya at Palau de la Música Catalana as of Saturday midday.
You will find below an outline of the conference programme. The full details will be sent out in January in our e-newsletter, when registrations will formally open. We encourage you to already book your travel and accommodation!
