Why In Opera?

.
This year 15 teenagers completed their cycle in the choir and continued their journey of learning in the National Youth Chorus of Sodre with their new voices, voices of young people.

.
These changes inspired the Children’s Choir in their second concert of the 2019 season.  In Opera, on site, shows a choir in reform with a repertoire that includes these young people, who will collaborate in the assembly and maintenance of the new construction.

.
With the scenic floor divided into three sectors and adding elements of scenography and projections, an actor will introduce the works and parallelize them from an architectural perspective, showing the relationship that exists between the structure of a house with concerts and works.
