OperaVision is committed to giving a global stage to the next generation of talent and to promoting operatic creation in all its forms. After an evening of Operetta and Zaruzela and a new production of Viardot's comic opera Cendrillon, the prestigious young artists’ programme of Palau de les Arts Valencia offer again a unique performance packed with musical discoveries.

Artifacts Assembly unfolds through a dialogue between eleven musical pieces performed by the emerging artists of the Centre de Perfeccionament del Palau de les Arts and a selection of works from the exhibitions and the collection of the Institut Valencià d'Art Modern (IVAM). The assembly of modern/contemporary art and musical compositions - by Julio González, Leonard Bernstein or Matilde Salvador among many others - becomes a reflection on montage, whether theatrical, exhibition-based or cinematic. Welcome to a new space to imagine where the arts converge.
