Public Workshops
Let’s try a different approach to opera and ballet…
With every Grand Théâtre production this season, there will be a Saturday morning of creative workshops related to the upcoming opera or ballet. Song, dance, drama, text, visual arts, it’s all there waiting to surprise you and help you express yourself: voice, stage, theatre and image professionals will guide you through the many aspects of opera, the art that has everything!
Atelier public #4
Stage design workshop about Elektra
For the staging of Elektra at the Grand Théâtre in January 2022, the director Ulrich Rasche has imagined a monumental and impressive set. And you, if you had to create a set for this opera by Richard Strauss, what would you do? Step into the shoes of a set designer and, with the help of professional set designer Valeria Pacchiani, design your own Elektra.
