Òpera La rosa dels set pètals

Community-created opera with a libretto by Blanca Bardagil and music by Tomàs Peire and Lucas Peire, born from the participation of residents and organisations in the Sant Andreu district and culminating in the Sala Principal of the Liceu.

La rosa dels set pètals is a new opera with a libretto by Blanca Bardagil and music by Tomàs Peire and Lucas Peire. Staging is by Israel Solà and musical direction by Manel Valdivieso. It is the second community opera that the Liceu produces with the Sant Andreu district, after La gata perduda, and it has the support of Barcelona City Council.

The project forms part of Liceu Opera Prima, a line of community artistic creation that combines the making of an opera with a three-year mediation process. Its aim is to bring opera creation closer to residents, organisations and facilities across the area through activities of the LiceuApropa and LiceuAprèn programmes, promoting equality, diversity and access to opera.

Citizen participation covers several stages: writing, performance, communication and technical construction. The line culminates in the performance in the Sala Principal of the Liceu. The proposal also benefits from the European technology research project AMPLIFY, focused on the digital transition of the cultural and creative industries.
