Hello and happy new year to everyone.

I’ve been quite silent on this website for a few months. The reason was I was working day and night on a project I spoke about a few months ago: 2O Minutes – The Podcast Opera. The premiere took place on the 14th of December in Berlin and you can now download it (for free) at www.PodcastOpera.net

20 Minutes – The Podcast Opera is an Opera that lasts 20 minutes and can be downloaded as a podcast and thus be listened to everywhere and not only in Opera Houses. For those who have an Ipod with a videoscreen or a computer, Mathieu Dagorn has made what can be considered as a video-staging of the opera. Since the website is in german (an english and a french version should be online soon), here are some direct links:

• the opera alone (.mp3 – around 22 Mo)
• the opera with video-staging (.avi – around 72 Mo)

20 Minutes – The Podcast Opera will hopefully be the first part of a long serie and allows contemporary music to come closer to people.
