SUMMARY

The topic of conversation is an unfolding vision on opera in the next century by referring to past projects and future plans. Both the working process and the performance practice are addressed. An important topic of discussion is the role of the composer in the "interdisciplinary" opera genre. They reflect on the artistic concept in relation to the context in which opera takes place, and what role artistic inspiration plays in this. Furthermore, they value the role of Yo! Opera in renewing the opera tradition through their youth projects.
