Project Peace: Gemeinsam Stimme zeigen

Whether in Carmen, La bohème or Tosca - a children's choir is often an indispensable part of an opera production and brings verve to the stage. The Vienna State Opera enables vocally gifted children from the age of 8 to enter the world of opera.

The children of the opera school can be seen on stage on around 100 opera evenings each season, either as soloists or as a choir. The children and young people from the opera school are also in the spotlight at NEST and give their own concerts.

The Project Peace evenings focus on the topics of the climate crisis, war, pandemic ... The challenges facing children and young people in our world seem almost impossible to overcome. Are we the next or the last generation? How can a musical debate, a dialog on these major topics be conducted?

The Opera School wants to use music to encourage people and send out a signal that much can be achieved together.
