Off-site seminar / Opus 4. Lyrical art faced with climate change.

Representations of nature have always been an artistic challenge. Since 2020, our seminars have also explored how the environmental emergency compels us to rethink opera within the city. What does lyrical art reveal about our urbanised society’s relationship with nature? What visions and aspirations unfold within operatic works, whether romantic or contemporary?

This seminar will take place in Venice, the birthplace of opera and the most endangered city in Europe.

Out of doors, in Venice | Free upon reservation: Palazzetto Bru Zane - Centre de musique romantique française.

In partnership with Université Paris 8 Vincennes – Saint-Denis, the Institut Universitaire de France, the Palazzetto Bru Zane, and the Fondazione Giorgio Cini.
