concert
Nova Opera: Live in Athens
NOVA OPERA is a group of young Ukrainian artists the aim of which is to search the new ways of developing the music theatre. It was founded by remarkable Ukrainian director Vlad Troitskyi in 2014 with the aim to create new synthetic genres and experiment with untypical music and stage performances. The musical language of the performances hasn’t got any aesthetic borders and freely unites avant-guard and rock, Gregorian choral and trip-hop, and new baroque and folk improvisations. The vocal-instrumental ensemble of NOVA OPERA investigates the possibilities of the human voice and uses non-academic methods of playing musical instruments such as prepared piano, bit-box, body percussion and so on. The use of achievements of traditional theatre is mixed with modern technologies: vj-ing and live-electronic music.
According to the Music Theatre NOW competition in 2018 opera-requiem “IYOV” became one of TOP-10 contemporary operas among 436 participants from 55 countries. It was performed in Paris (France), Copenhagen (Denmark), at The V Festival of Traditional and Avant-garde Music CODES (Lublin, Poland), The Gdansk Shakespeare Theatre, Musikverein (Vienna, Austria), May Opera Evenings Festival (Skopje, Macedonia), PROTOTYPE opera festival in New York and Operadagen Rotterdam, Akko Festival (Akko, Israel).
