Présences opéRAtiques

with fragments from the newest opera by Snezana Nesic;
Two creative teams from the OpéRA de poche project-Amichai Ben Shalev (composer), Caroline Vu (librettist), Mélanie Michel (set designer), Jesse Aidyn (director) and Stefania Skoryna (choreographer) and Snežana Nešić (composer), Tina-Ève Provost (librettist), Sylvain Marotte (director)-will present their co-creation journey with particular attention to the relationship between musical composition and the visual dimension of the work. This presentation will be illustrated by a live performance of excerpts from their operas, bringing the audience back to the concrete stage of a work created for augmented reality. In this way, the event explores another aspect of the real/virtual relationship, through embodied singing as opposed to recorded singing.
This concert will be presented as part of the Semaines culturelles vietnamiennes 2023, organized by the Vietnamese Cultural Center to showcase the creations of Vietnamese artists in Montreal-including novelist and librettist Caroline Vu-and their collaborations.
