Yuval Sharon has amassed an unconventional body of work that expands the operatic form. He is founder and Artistic Director of The Industry in Los Angeles and the newly appointed Artistic Director of Detroit’s Michigan Opera Theatre.

His first production in Detroit, Twilight: Gods, an adaptation of Wagner’s Götterdämmerung, is a one-of-a-kind operatic experience inside the Detroit Opera House Parking Center. Part live performance, part immersive installation, audiences remain in their cars to experience scenes from the final opera of Wagner’s Ring Cycle on various levels of the parking structure.

Taking this production as a starting point, Yuval Sharon will discuss opera’s post-pandemic revival in a conversation with Luís Soldado and João Pedro Cachopo.

You can watch the Meeting in CESEM’s Youtube channel.

Resvés Ópera – Conversation Series is an initiative by CESEM’s Linha de Estudos de Ópera. Despite the upheaval and uncertainty, the vitality of the opera seems unquestionable today. Dangers and thresholds, turns and alliances, metamorphoses and transgressions are our points of interest in the opera world today.
