pOpera

Meet at the Musekzenter Raymond Bausch (26 rue Pierre Krier  L1880 Bonnevoie)

pOpera performances at the Philharmonie du Luxembourg 

On 11 and 12 September, after six weeks of intensive training, the pOpera artists put on an exceptional show at the Philharmonie du Luxembourg. The 21 participants from a dozen different countries staged the story of a young boy and his father strolling through a park, in which memories of their recently lost mother and wife resurface. The new gardener, the lady with the doves, the joggers: the whole park is gradually transformed into a meeting place where the protagonists are bound together by loss, pain and grief, and above all by the force of life. The final scene, featuring the choristers, three professional singers and twelve musicians, is a gigantic celebration of life and the strength of community. 

A huge thank you to the entire artistic team, to the musicians and singers, to the Philharmonie, to our sponsors on this project and above all to all the participants! 

‘The sustained applause as the show finished was testament to the great performance of all involved in the production.’ Chronicles.lu

The participants were on stage on September 21, 2023 at the Philharmonie Luxembourg, to make the audience dream with their stories and artistic sensibilities.

From 25 September 2023, weekly workshops will be held at the Philharmonie with percussionist Amit Dhuri and Paulo Lameiro.

These regular meetings provide participants with an opportunity to meet and share through music, and give them a chance to express themselves in ways other than words.

With a view to inclusion through music, the participants will also go and see concerts together and take part in some of the performances.

All the dates are listed below.
