OPERA FUTURES

OPERA FUTURES is a dynamic platform that champions the creation of pioneering compositions and curated programmes.  It encapsulates innovation and legacy, envisioning the future of opera, oratorios and large-scale sacred choral works.

Among the exciting initiatives in progress through OPERA FUTURES is ARTEMISIA, a groundbreaking new opera that brings to life the extraordinary story of Artemisia Gentileschi—an artist of resilience, vision, and defiant creativity. This project will explore themes of power, injustice, and artistic triumph, weaving historical and contemporary musical influences into a bold and evocative operatic experience.

Through OPERA FUTURES, Finsterer will develop and present such transformative works, reflecting her deep commitment to artistic excellence and her vision for the evolution of operatic storytelling. These endeavours promise to engage, inspire and elevate the cultural landscape, bringing forth works that are as profound in their narrative depth as they are significant in their artistic impact.

OPERA FUTURES invites you to be part of this visionary journey, celebrating the power of storytelling through opera and its ability to illuminate the past while shaping the future. Your generous support is essential for ARTEMISIA, currently in its development phase, as we lay the foundation for a production that embodies artistic ingenuity and historical resonance.
