Mahogany Opera – Various Stages Festival

Various Stages is Mahogany’s distinctive and artist-led research and development programme. On Thursday 19 March, the 2020 Festival reaches its culmination in an afternoon of work-in-progress performances, feedback sessions, panel discussion, funding surgeries, and networking opportunities.

Each of the featured projects—the majority chosen from an open call—are brilliant examples of how new opera and music theatre is being created. They are multi-artform, cross-genre, and immersive and show how their makers are telling engaging stories in insightful, collaborative, provocative ways that resonate with today’s audiences.

The Various Stages Festival offers the chance to discover new work, a rare look inside the creative process and an opportunity to participate in conversations about the future direction of opera and music theatre.
