In support of 21st century Ukraine, OperaVision presents an unprecedented international online co-production of this opera never before performed outside Ukraine. Released on 25 October 2022 to mark World Opera Day, this production is the fruit of a collaboration between seven cities: Helsinki, Lviv, London, Rome, San Francisco, Warsaw and Washington DC. Young artists from Finnish National Opera, Lviv National Opera, Royal College of Music, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, San Francisco Opera, and the Opera Academy of the Polish National Opera each perform a scene from „Golden Crown”. The production is narrated by Ukrainian artists attending the Shenandoah University, near Washington DC, where Ella Marchment, who initiated and directs this production, is Director of Opera.
The production will premiere on OperaVision and the Polish National Opera’s VOD platform on 25 October 2022 at 7 p.m.
Today, the opera community stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine. Together with OperaVision, we are happy to find new admirers for Ukrainian culture across the world. We encourage you to give generously to our fundraising campaign to support the next generation of opera singers and managers from Ukraine.
