17th World Premiere Italian Opera w/Young Professionals from 25 Cultures & Sopranos (8-18) in Training
Opera Singers (July 9- August 9) and Instrumentalists (July 31 - August 9) - each from a different culture- gather in an Italian opera house to begin a once in a lifetime adventure to transform the world of opera
Our opera this year will celebrate an historically Important Italian artist who's contributions took place during the Renaissance and which in 2020 will take place only a little over an hour from the locations where art, music, philosophy, science and more boomed in the center of a gorgeous
birthplace of the most famous Italian artist before Michelangelo & daVinci, named the most perfect town in Italy in 2013, where an intact Etruscan tomb, named one of the most important architectural finds of 2015, was uncovered
On this platform, with innovative American stage director Karen Lauria Saillant will inspire opera singers to self organize themselves onstage as together we create our new opera. Ms. Saillant has premiered works in 21 theaters in Italy & US, including with The Philadelphia Orchestra at The Academy of Music and at Teatro Valle, Rome's oldest opera house, where Donizetti & Rossini premiered their works.
In this empowerment experience, singers will also collaborate with
an esteemed Italian conductor and composer, Italian Maestro Mauro Fabbri, resident conductor at The Finnish National Opera, State Opera Stara Zagora, Bulgaria and Wupperthal Opera, Germany, our conductor, musical director. and other fine artists and Italian linguists who will create International Opera Theater 17th world premiere Italian opera-a fully staged, fully costumed and lit new opera in 1 month- something that usually takes more than 1 year to accomplish.
Costumes will be designed by Other Abled Artists from Associzione Laboratorio Terrarte
International Opera Theater is the only opera company in the world able to create such a project in so short a period of time.
We are able to do this because we use "ausstrahlung" (emanations- charisma) as the basis for our movement based communication model- working onstage through exercises I have developed over a period of 50+ years- with processes which empower operatic performers to self-organize onstage and be expressive physically and vocally, while remaining in harmony with nature-
to increase intercultural sensitivity, empathy, intuition, the primary impulse (meaning to be able to act before cognitive thought), mirror neurons and instinct- abilities necessary for our global peacemakers and the most brilliant musicians.
July9- August 9, with performances August 7,8,9 with orchestra.
