Description
Silent city is a format for the creation of an opera lyric, an audience development process and an artistic
investigation of the city and its communities.
It is an original community lyric opera created - in every phase - by young people, the elderly and
children of Basilicata and Matera in particular, led by the composer Nigel Osborne, together with
national and international artists. “For us, work as language became a way of investigating the
city of Matera in its complexity. Stories, words, music and sounds.”
Major achievements
- Social impact on the local community of Matera
- Educational impact on how to develop and create an Opera with citizens, children and seniors
- Cultural impact on how to communicate and generate an artistic investigation involving creatives and
artists
- Future projects for audience development
