Program:
Friday, April 23, 19:00
Livestreaming from the Great Hall of the EAMT.
Giovanni Albini – mono-opera “1982” (in Italian), world premiere. The libretto is directly made from Italian second longest palindrome by Giuseppe Varaldo (born 1950). Abiding by the strict rules of constrained writing, the text is a sparkling stream of consciousness about Italy and the 1982 World Football Championship, that the Italian team won against the German one. The setting is a room, a piano is on the stage as well as a screen.

Saturday, April 24, 11:00–13:00 (Zoom)
Round table and consultation with Giovanni Albini (composer), Liis Kolle (director), Kristi Kapten (pianist – coach) about composing, directing and performing contemporary opera (in English). Moderator – Tze Yeung Ho (composer). See additional info

The seminar aims to bring together composers, directors, singers, pianists-coaches, librettists, set designers and others to discuss what does opera/ music theatre mean for them, what experiences they have. The goal of the seminar is to help young composers, librettists, performers, musicologists et al. find their path in music theatre. The first seminar “Opera as Imagination and Realization” took place at the in October 2019.
The event is organised by the Graduate School of Culture Studies and Arts, supported by the ASTRA project of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre EMTASTRA, 2014-2020.4.01.16-0043 (European Union, European Regional Development Fund).
