ÒH!PERA

Newly created micro-opera

ÒH!PERA is an innovative contemporary micro-opera project that promotes emerging talent and interdisciplinary creation within the performing arts. Promoted by the Gran Teatre del Liceu and the Disseny Hub Barcelona, and forming part of the Grec Festival, the project invites audiences to enjoy three exceptional evenings—on 25, 26, and 27 July 2025—featuring the premiere of three newly created short operas.

The project is promoted by the Gran Teatre del Liceu and the Disseny Hub Barcelona, with the participation of students from ELISAVA, IED Barcelona and LCI Barcelona. Former students of the Institut del Teatre and students from Eòlia are also collaborating on the three productions.
