»What you can‘t yet say, you may already be able to sing!«

When it comes to opera, many people start dreaming: of a universal language of music and feelings – a language that finally unites us all. Does the ancient powerhouse of emotions really hold opportunities for boundless understanding? Do outrageous feelings find their true expression here? Should we all finally learn to sing arias?

With the multi-sensory aria evening »A Singthing« the team of [in]operabilities presents its first project. With dramatic faces and pulsating lights, with grand gestures and touching vibrations, they design possibilities of musical communication and operatic emotional production.

[in]operabilities is an artistic research project in contemporary music theater and links the art form of opera with the question of its accessibility. In the canon and cosmos of opera, artists and interdisciplinary researchers search for forms of multisensory music-making and encounter – for collective and individual »opera-abilities«.
