Participate

What does the NEST have to do with me? Quite a lot! Whether it's drop-ins or regular projects, whether it's just a taster or a deep dive into the world of theater: our workshops invite everyone to get to know and help shape opera and ballet by watching, discussing and creating together.

Everyone is welcome to either gain insights behind the scenes, try their hand at improvisation and theater acting, build dramaturgies and plays or become composers and choreographers.

The participatory projects are a place for encounters and discussions about opera, theater, dance and topics that concern and interest us all!
