🎭 Different voices, one stage.

Refugee teens and local youth come together to transform Schubert’s Winterreise into a powerful, contemporary musical theatre performance.

Greek National Opera's 𝐂𝐨-𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, the first intercultural youth opera hub in Europe, presents (𝑨𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓) 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚— inspired by Franz Schubert’s emblematic song cycle Winterreise.

The performance will feature a mixed group of Athenian teenagers and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors who were involved in the educational program, alongside the GNO Intercultural Choir.

Through Panos Iliopoulos musical adaptation and Vasilis Vilaras’ directorial eye, the performance portrays the inner journey of adolescence, engaging in a conversation with universal questions: fear, loneliness, hope, loss, first loves, and change.

🎼The intercultural opera hub for teenagers, Co-OPERAtive, is part of Greek National Opera – Εθνική Λυρική Σκηνή intercultural activities - along with the Intercultural Orchestra and the Intercultural Choir.
