Presentation<\/h2>

To mark the centenary of Giacomo Puccini’s death, eight young composers, five singers, a pianist, a director’s assistant and two set designers are invited to participate, an offbeat reflection on opera creation today and the approach to the stage genre, in the form of a collaborative workshop<\/strong>. Each composer will have to write one of the eight scenes in a libretto that creates the unity of the project.
Inspired by an inversion of Puccini’s famous opera Madame Butterfly<\/em>, it features three characters whose intricately interwoven relationships completely redistribute the social codes and clichés developed in Puccini’s masterpiece. <\/p>

For the opera artists, the challenge will be to learn a new score quickly while working closely with the composers.
The composers will have to capture the particular narrative moment, and at the same time conceive how it fits into the whole. They will be called upon to work together on certain passages or transitions. Throughout the project, and right from the writing phase, they will be advised and supported in their instrumental, vocal and dramaturgical writing, and in their handling of the libretto, by artists experienced in these disciplines. The aim here is to provide comprehensive training in lyric writing and dramatic treatment.
All work will be essentially collaborative, with everyone participating in the elaboration, conception and realization of the collective work in progress, whether compositionally, interpretatively or scenically. It will take place in two sessions, under the guidance of seasoned trainers who will lead the work to its culmination: a stage performance of the collective work thus brought to light. <\/p>

The musical and stylistic challenges are numerous: <\/strong><\/p>
