An introduction to directing workshop for teenagers

We direct an aria, we explore our creative freedom and the possibilities of different approaches to artistic creation. Mozart’s music, with its timeless power, carries Don Giovanni’s legend across the centuries. Performances, legends, and original stagings have marked its contact with the audience of our time. But how would a teenager in the time of the MeToo movement direct it? How would they approach the libretto and Mozart’s music? Teenagers converse with university professors specialised in gender and identity issues, singers and GNO set designers to present their own version of the opera through DIY music and visual techniques.
