Description

Following the discussion there will be a demonstration from Guildhall Production Studio’s current project opeRAVE. The project explores the intersection of traditional opera and modern performance technology, using the Holosys volumetric capture system to digitise key characters from well-known opera for XR performance practice. Performers from BirdGang Ltd present characters including Carmen, Figaro, Don Giovanni and the Queen of the Night, who are reimagined with traits and styles influenced by contemporary dance and street culture. The resulting digital avatars, captured in detailed 3D, allow for immersive and interactive opera experiences in virtual and augmented reality settings. This fusion of classic cultural expressions with cutting-edge technology opens new possibilities for engagement and expands the reach of operatic art into new media landscapes.
