OPE­RA NOW!

We stri­ve for con­tem­po­ra­ry ope­ra and music thea­ter to pro­mo­te new impul­ses, new lan­guages to the­se the­mes in cosmopolitan/​multicultural struc­tu­re. We reco­gni­ze that art should not be view­ed in iso­la­ti­on, but must be con­side­red as a holi­stic expe­ri­ence from dif­fe­rent per­spec­ti­ves. For this reason, music and thea­ter inter­sect and influence each other in our pro­jects to crea­te a mul­ti­di­men­sio­nal and immersi­ve experience.

Our work is based on the prin­ci­ple of the “here and now”. We belie­ve that art has the power to cap­tu­re and com­ment on cur­rent social and poli­ti­cal rea­li­ties. By focu­sing on the “here and now”, we enable our works to have imme­dia­te rele­van­ce and open up space for much-nee­ded dis­cus­sions and reflec­tions. Our topics are essen­ti­al­ly human and poli­ti­cal. We explo­re human expe­ri­en­ces, from inti­ma­te emo­ti­ons to major social chal­lenges. We also tack­le con­tro­ver­si­al topics and rai­se voices that are often overlooked.

A distin­gu­is­hing fea­ture of Ope­ra Now! is its com­mit­ment to inno­va­ti­on. The coll­ec­ti­ve embraces new tech­no­lo­gies and crea­ti­ve metho­do­lo­gies, con­ti­nu­al­ly pushing the boun­da­ries of artis­tic expres­si­on. By incor­po­ra­ting cut­ting-edge tools and tech­ni­ques, Ope­ra Now! not only enhan­ces the artis­tic expe­ri­ence but also reim­agi­nes how sto­ries are told and how audi­en­ces enga­ge with art. This for­ward-thin­king approach enables the coll­ec­ti­ve to remain at the fore­front of con­tem­po­ra­ry art, chal­len­ging con­ven­tio­nal nar­ra­ti­ves and offe­ring fresh, mul­ti-dimen­sio­nal insights into glo­bal and local issues.

As a music+theater coll­ec­ti­ve, we are con­vin­ced that art has a trans­for­ma­ti­ve power. We see our pro­jects as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to rai­se awa­re­ness, pro­mo­te empa­thy and bring about chan­ge. Our artis­tic pro­jects are aimed at sha­ping a world that is diver­se, inclu­si­ve and equal.
