Take a look behind the camera of 20 Shots of Opera, Irish National Opera’s film series of 20 short operas by as many composers. Meet the creative minds behind this monumental project that unites 120 people in their ambitious desire to explore the possibilities of the art form in a digital format.
Artistic director of INO Fergus Sheil and series director Hugh O’Conor reflect on the extraordinary genesis of 20 Shots of Opera - from their commission to the film shoot. As soprano Daire Halpin affirms, 'Now is the time to experiment and bring along new audiences because people have a spare five minutes.'
We are saddened to learn of the passing of the great Hungarian composer, whose creations have profoundly influenced contemporary music.
In January 2024, OperaVision streamed Péter Eötvös' latest opera, Valuska. Commissioned by the Hungarian State Opera on his 80th birthday, this opera is currently available to view on our platform.
Valuska was Eötvös' 13th opera and the first one in Hungarian.
