Once again this year, the Fundaci\u00f3 Ferrer de M\u00fasica is supporting Petit Liceu, the Gran Teatre del Liceu\u2019s initiative that brings opera closer to younger audiences while providing students from the Conservatori Liceu with their first professional experiences. This year, Petit Liceu celebrates its 25th anniversary, with the new season opening on 3 October with the premiere of La jove A\u00efda, a new production designed for audiences aged 8 and over, coinciding with the arrival of Verdi\u2019s Aida in the Liceu\u2019s new season.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Created by Jordi Casanovas, Marian M\u00e1rquez and Onionlab, La jove A\u00efda<\/a><\/em><\/strong> reimagines Verdi\u2019s iconic opera through a production that combines music, virtual reality, technology and a retrofuturistic aesthetic inspired by early video games. The story follows Aina, a young video game developer who creates a virtual world inspired by Aida<\/em> to present an innovation at a virtual reality conference at the Gran Teatre del Liceu. Through this universe, she experiences the conflicts and emotions of Verdi\u2019s characters as her own, while exploring the boundaries between reality and fiction.<\/p>

Music and opportunities for young people<\/strong><\/p>

The entire orchestra bringing the music of La jove A\u00efda<\/em> to life, as well as its conductor, will be made up of musicians who are current or former students of the Conservatori Liceu<\/strong> and who have successfully completed an audition process. This is made possible through Liceu Apr\u00e8n, a project supported by the Fundaci\u00f3 Ferrer de M\u00fasica and the Fundaci\u00f3 Conservatori Liceu.<\/p>

This educational initiative provides professional guidance and support to Conservatori Liceu students and alumni, offering them opportunities to develop their careers<\/strong> and gain their first professional experience in the music sector. Through their participation in Petit Liceu, these young musicians will become part of a major production on one of the country\u2019s leading opera stages.<\/p>

In addition to Petit Liceu, Liceu Apr\u00e8n<\/strong> encompasses other initiatives such as \u00d2h!pera,<\/strong> a project dedicated to newly created micro-operas; Liceu Under 35; and various performances in the foyer of the Gran Teatre del Liceu.<\/p>

A season bringing music closer to younger audiences<\/strong><\/p>

Following La jove A\u00efda<\/em>, the Petit Liceu programme will continue with a range of productions throughout the season:<\/p>
