Invisible Opera House
Folkestone Harbour as the home of a pop-up opera house. This is the vision underpinning this exciting new music project. Invisible Opera House will explore themes of belonging, change, the point of no return and how location shapes our identity.
During 2019, the pilot will deliver a series of interactive activities that introduce audiences to opera as a relevant and accessible art form. Invisible Opera House activities include:
The project will work closely with young refugees and local teenagers, commuters, recent migrants to Folkestone, older adults and those with some interest in opera but little experience of contemporary work.
SparkedEcho have been commissioned by Fat Lady Opera to co-produce Invisible Opera House. It is supported by funding from Arts Council England and private donations.
