Ultimate Coloratura Quest: Blondit Berliinissä, 2011
A light-hearted rewrite of W.A.Mozart's 'The Abduction from the Seraglio' ('Die Entführung aus dem Serail', KV 384) with a pinch of camp aesthetics.
This production relied heavily on the use of video projections. The story was partly told in the form of on-screen inserts, and during key arias the video imagery supported and externalized characters' emotions.

MOBILE OPERAS
You Are Here, 2014
Cinematography, postproduction
You Are Here is a location specific opera by composer Miika Hyytiäinen and director Jaakko Nousiainen. In it’s original form the work created a novel abstraction of the concept of the opera house by connecting interior spaces of Glyndebourne Opera to exterior spaces of the opera houses in Berlin, Staatsoper, Deutsche Oper and Komische Oper. You Are Here was encountered as a set of six visual artworks that each contained a QR code. When activated with a smartphone camera, the codes connect to short opera videos, forming a virtual peephole between Glyndebourne and Berlin. This experimental media opera was commissioned by the Opera and the Media of the Future (OMF) research initiative, from the Centre for Research in Opera and Music Theatre (CROMT) at The University of Sussex. It was launched publicly at the inaugural OMF event at the Glyndebourne Opera on October 24, 2014. In May 2015, You Are Here was presented at the Music Tech Fest in Umeå, Sweden.
Omnivore, 2012
Storyboard, cinematography, animation, post-production
Omnivore is an experimental opera that was originally created to be experienced with smartphones and tablets. It was first released in the form of downloadable apps for iOS and Android operating systems in 2012. The quirky and offbeat style of the work received a positive response, but unfortunately the apps had to be discontinued in 2013 due to high server maintenance costs. Currently Omnivore is available as an online version, which presents a selection of videos in one go, following the sequencing logic of the original mobile version. Watch the opera here!
