A project that awakens the motor and auditory development of infants and pre-schoolers through four periods of classical music: Baroque, classicism, romanticism and 20th-century music, with an approach including parent participation.
Through music-and-movement games children within the group discover timbre and style and get acquainted with the sound of classical music and the basic categories of musical instruments.
The workshop is targeted at two age groups: 0-24 months old and 2-4 years old. The presence of at least one parent is necessary for both age groups.

The Co-OPERAtive: An intercultural and collaborative opera hub for young people project, winner of the 2019 Fedora European Prize for Education, is an opera hub for a mixed group of 60 young Athenians and unaccompanied minor asylum seekers aged 14-18 from across Attica.
A few words about the project
The Co-OPERAtive project is an opera hub for a mixed group of 60 young Athenians and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors aged 15-17 from across Attica. The project is inspired by opera, which is a common language for creating the first intercultural youth opera hub in Europe. Co-OPERAtive aims to expand opera’s appeal and make it more known to youth audiences, while bringing out cultural diversity and social cohesion. Foregrounding opera’s cooperative nature, the Co-OPERAtive project places collaboration at the heart of its design and implementation, building strong alliances with three partner-organizations, ARSIS, The HOME Project and Melissa Network.
The project will be implemented from January to June 2020 in the Greek National Opera’s venues at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center. Detailed information about the project and the participation process will be announced in September 2019 on the GNO webpage (www. nationalopera.gr).
The Co-OPERAtive project brings out three of opera’s basic disciplines: music, theatre and dance. The music section includes instrumental music composition, vocal and improvisation workshops. The theatre section includes creative writing, acting, and directing workshops, and the dance section ballet, contemporary dance, and choreography classes. Alongside the artistic team, the GNO’s professional personnel will contribute in the areas of lighting design, stage management, sound engineering, etc.

Μια σειρά από εκπαιδευτικά και ερευνητικά εργαστήρια του έργου Creability θα φιλοξενηθούν στην Εθνική Λυρική Σκηνή στο Κέντρο Πολιτισμού Ίδρυμα Σταύρος Νιάρχος από τις 18 έως και τις 23 Φεβρουαρίου 2019. Τα εργαστήρια διοργανώνονται από το Συνεργείο Μουσικού Θεάτρου Λάρισας σε συνεργασία με τις Εκπαιδευτικές και Κοινωνικές Δράσεις της ΕΛΣ.
Στα εργαστήρια του Creability, ερευνητές, καλλιτέχνες και εκπαιδευτές στις παραστατικές τέχνες, φέρνουν στην Αθήνα γνώσεις, μεθόδους και καλλιτεχνικά/εκφραστικά εργαλεία, προκειμένου να δοκιμαστούν υπό την επίβλεψη αλλά και με τη συμμετοχή καλλιτεχνών με αναπηρίες. Στόχος είναι οι επιλεγμένες μέθοδοι και τα εργαλεία που θα προκύψουν από αυτή τη σύμπραξη να δημιουργήσουν γόνιμο έδαφος για τον επαναπροσδιορισμό της καλλιτεχνικής εκπαίδευσης και παραγωγής υπό το πρίσμα της προσβασιμότητας και της συμπερίληψης.
Το έργο Creability είναι μια διεθνής πρωτοβουλία του Ευρωπαϊκού δικτύου Un-Label (https://un-label.eu/en/), χρηματοδοτείται από το πρόγραμμα Erasmus+ και αφορά τη συμπερίληψη ατόμων με αναπηρίες σε δημιουργικές και καλλιτεχνικές δράσεις. Πραγματοποιείται παράλληλα σε Ελλάδα και Γερμανία με τη συνεργασία 3 εταίρων: του Συνεργείου Μουσικού Θεάτρου από τη Λάρισα (www.smouth.com), ενός από τους πιο ενεργούς οργανισμούς σε εθνικό επίπεδο στο θέμα της συμπερίληψης στις παραστατικές τέχνες, του Τεχνικού Πανεπιστημίου του Ντόρτμουντ και του Κέντρου Pusteblume της Κολωνίας.

The GNO Alternative Stage goes to Larissa for the annual Regional Troupes Meeting which brings creative groups operating in the field of musical theatre into direct contact with each other. For four whole days, at various venues in the city, four groups from Thessaloniki, Rethymno, Amfissa and Larissa will participate in experiential workshops, share experiences, experiment and develop their skills. The meeting will be completed with the presentation of a short play by each group. The introductory workshop titled “Directing music” will be led by GNO Alternative Stage’s artistic director, Alexandros Eflkidis.
Transmedia Labworks returns for a third year with the participation of young artists. The programme investigates innovative structures, forms and methods of performativity and dramatization in audiovisual spatial events, through experimentation and digital transmediality. This year, the workshop’s starting and return point will be the operatic singing and, in particular, Georg Friedrich Handel’s (1685-1759) aria “V’adoro pupille” from the opera Giulio Cesare (1724).
Participants with a background at visual and sound / music background will be selected through an open call process.

For four months, the rehearsals building of the Greek National Opera in Kallithea will be transformed into a sound and image factory. With the participation of 18 artists coming from the fields of music, sound and visual arts, selected via an open call, the new workshop, Transmedia Labworks, will focus on the relationship between opera and digital arts, interactive media and programming. Starting with Richard Strauss’s Elektra, the participants are called upon to experiment in order to redefine the concept of performative act in opera. The on-stage action will not be seen as a reproduction of narrative successions, received by the audience as an external observer, but as a spatial interactive experience, co-formed by the audience’s active participation. The aim of the Transmedia Labworks workshop is to create a series of experimental, cross-media and interactive audiovisual projections and interpretations of selected scenes from the foresaid opera. Transmedia Labworks will be completed by opening its doors to the public and by giving them the unique chance to become part of an exciting audiovisual experience. Exactly at the point where opera meets with digital cross-mediacy and computer interpretation.
For Stravinsky with love
Having as a baseline the avant-garde and bold Russian composer Igor Stravinsky’s (1882-1971) work, young musicians and choreographers are invited to create new music and dance works, that will be short and comprehensive and full of fresh ideas. Le sacre du printemps (1913), Le Rossignol (1914/1917/1920) and Les Noces (1932), three emblematic works which were written for the Russian Ballets and contributed to the establishment of the composer’s reputation, serve as a source of inspiration for young composers and choreographers, by giving them the chance to express their creativity and experiment without boundaries or limitations. Through an open contest process, seven new music works will be selected and performed by select dancers of the GNO Ballet School. And there’s more. Stravinsky Miniatures will be completed in April 2019 with the production of seven videos that will have recorded all the preparation stages of the works. The projection of the videos will take place in parallel with the performances of the Ballet’s three-fold tribute to Stravinsky. From Russia with love in the GNO venues at the SNFCC.
The selection of the artists will be made on the basis of an open call announced at www.nationalopera.gr
What could refugee children and grandfathers and grandmothers in Athens have in common?
How can they practically co-exist? They do not speak the same language, they do not have the same age, they do not have the same experiences. Their only thing in common is the language and the memory of their bodies. The cross-generational workshop Moving Music brings in contact two groups of people that do not communicate with each other in their everyday life: unaccompanied minors and elderly people. Using as an instrument the sounds of their voices, the rhythms of their feet and the guidance of artists, the two groups come in contact, co-exist and co-create.
It is never too late to learn how to play the guitar. The successful programme Guitar express continues through a new cycle of workshops for people over 65 years of age who have never hidden their adoration for Jimmy Hendrix or Paco de Lucia. In this programme, guitar becomes the vehicle for beginners’ fast and easy access to music and the process of learning a musical instrument. Singing also plays an important part in the programme, as all participants will have the unique chance to also practise their voice. A joyous, cheerful company is waiting for you at the GNO. Guitar express, company express.
