Newsroom September 23 07:00The Greek National Opera welcomes teenagers into the magical world of opera through its educational and social programs. It invites teenagers aged 14 to 18, from different schools and neighborhoods across Attica, to join the sixth cycle of the intercultural opera incubator Co-OPERAtive, with the goal of gradually creating and presenting an original music-theatre production in May 2026 at the Alternative Stage of the Greek National Opera at the SNFCC. Each year, the educational program hosts a group of 30 young people of different nationalities—Athenians and underage asylum seekers—in a series of weekly workshops with distinguished artists from the fields of music, theater, and dance. In addition, those who take part in the program will have the opportunity to attend general rehearsals and performances of opera, music theater, and ballet, to interact with professionals of the Greek National Opera, to get to know up close all the stages of opera production, and ultimately to present their own work on the Alternative Stage of the GNO. Participation does not require specialized knowledge in music, theater, or dance.
