Business Overview
This project is a complex project over a period of approximately six months, combining the holding of workshops for opera singers to improve their acting skills and the presentation of the Company's original opera "The Marriage of the Barber of Seville," which also serves as a presentation of the results of the workshops. In addition to performing singers, we invited young singers to participate in several workshops aimed at improving their performance in opera. It provided a place to learn about opera performance. In this work, “The Barber of Seville ” and“ The Marriage of Figaro ” are reconstructed as a reminiscence drama, and the two works are recreated as one work.
