ABAO Bilbao Opera Announces New Agreement with Musikene
By David SalazarThe ABAO Bilbao Opera is joining forces with Musikene, with the hopes of expanding the reach of opera, music, and culture.
Per the agreement, Musikene, or Centro Superior de Música del País Vasco, will provide opportunities and spaces to create activities, such as talks and panels, that dovetail with the operatic offerings at the Bilbao Opera. The institution will also offer up its Symphony Orchestra to participate in productions as well as other technical support, such as video equipment, for the opera’s productions. In turn, ABAO Bilbao Opera will offer opportunities for students in a wide range of production roles, when available.
The two institutions will also offer a scholarship to students of the Musikene, with the winner getting a chance to participate in an ABAO Bilbao Opera production.
This is the first agreement between the two organizations.
