ECHO SYSTEM

TO WORK

ECHO SYSTEM.
THINGS LEFT UNSAID.

LOCHHEAD, ZOFIA SZABO, KATRIN HELLES, BERNHARD TEUFL, JAKOB HOFFMANN, HANNAH VINZENS

FOCUS CULTURE

Echo system instead of echo chamber in the reverberation room of the Kollegienkirche: Things left unsaid is the motto of the second production of the Salzburg Chamber Opera with music from Bach to Cage and an expansive network sculpture.

OPERATION RELOADED

While the theater world is struggling with lockdown, some young artists are swimming against the tide, founding the Salzburg Chamber Opera and bringing a “digital opera” to the world premiere at lightning speed. Does the format keep what it promises?
