Guildhall Digital Opera Double Bill

Guildhall School’s summer opera double bill has been transformed from the physical to the digital stage, with the creative team and artists from across the School bringing the productions to life from their homes using digital technology.

Collaborative and interdisciplinary work is a priority across Guildhall School, and this project has integrated work by more than 100 artists from the Opera, Production Arts, Vocal and Music departments, as well as Guildhall Live Events – an innovative new department set up to act as a conduit between the professional artistic, creative and entertainment industries and the world-class educational practices of Guildhall School. All students, staff and guest artists have been working from wherever they have been living during the lockdown, across at least 14 countries and four continents.
