Drop…I / Ocean…TOGETHER… (2023)
GREEK NATIONAL OPERA
3d Bell Opera, the exceptionally successful pilot programme of inter-artistic, multimedia and pedagogical action for Primary Education Schools, continues for a third consecutive year.
This season, the programme expands its boundaries and is not only aimed at schools in Attica but also in the rest of Greece and abroad, under the guidance of composer Alexandros Mouzas.
Through contemporary music theatre practices, 3d Bell Opera aspires to bring educators and primary school students in contact with the fascinating world of music theatre. The goals it has set for this year are to promote creative and critical thinking, cultivate skills and knowledge about the inter-artistic field of music theatre, and also introduce the educators and students that will take part in the programme into the creative process of the making of a contemporary music theatre work titled Drop…I / Ocean…TOGETHER.
The workshops will come complete with a final presentation to the wider audience in the Stavros Niarchos Hall of the Greek National Opera at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in June 2023.
