Thanks to the support provided by Fundación Williams, FNOBA (Festival Nueva Ópera Buenos Aires) is proud to introduce a pandemic-related program called “Materiales 2020”.
With the theaters and all physical spaces closed in Buenos Aires, FNOBA presents a new website that displays commissions specifically conceived, from scratch, for the virtual environment. We invite you to rediscover contemporary opera, as scraps or messages from a genre that today – more than ever – is not much more than an entelechy.
Our programme runs from September 23 to October 4, with a double component of live streaming and pre-recorded events in which sixteen artists from various disciplines interact and engage. The “materiales” are structured around three areas: Winter School (as video-classes), works in progress and, finally, premieres, all by some of the most talted young artists in Argentina. All content will be available during of the Festival, with the exception of #umweltKapital, which will only be streaming live.
