What, but mainly who, is needed to create an opera performance? And how would it turn out if the children became scenographers, costume designers, or even an orchestra for a while? We will find that out together at the How to make opera workshop!

Introduce students to theater genres in a different way!

What do opera and ballet have in common and how do they differ? What does the process of creating a production look like from the first idea to the finished performance? What professions work in the theater and what do we actually need them for? What do a choreographer, director, costume designer, or set designer have to think about to make a performance successful? We will find the answer to these and many other questions together at the workshop – How is opera made x How is ballet made?

The workshop also includes a short tour of the Janáček Theater.
