Background

What does it mean to have a voice? In this uplifting and emotional digital work, performers living with voice loss tell their stories, joining forces with opera singers and cutting-edge digital voices. Expect a radically different kind of opera experience in this powerful 25-minute installation, designed for the Linbury Theatre. Unfolding across three projection screens, and combining music, documentary and immersive sound design, The Sound Voice Project explodes the idea of what opera can be. The Sound Voice Project is the Winner of the FEDORA Digital Prize 2023 with the support of Kearney.

Join our exclusive Insights: The Sound Voice Project where a panel of interdisciplinary experts explore what is in a voice and focus on some of the questions raised by the award-winning opera-video installation.
