Madrid, April 30, 2021.- The Teatro Real and the Reina Sofía School of Music have signed a collaboration agreement through which users of the audiovisual platform My Opera Player will be able to enjoy new musical and educational content performed by those who represent the future of this universal art.
This initiative, which expands the long-standing link between the two institutions and reinforces the joint project for the dissemination of music and the performing arts, offers the double opportunity to listen, on the one hand, to the concerts in which the students of the Reina Sofía School of Music participate and, on the other hand, to discover details of performing technique through masterclasses offered by renowned professionals such as cellist Asier Polo (former student of the School), violinist Oliver Wille, clarinetist Pascal Moraguès (professor at the School), and great singing figures such as tenor Javier Camarena and baritone Leigh Melrose.
The Teatro Real wants to further commit to its commitment to talent and young audiences, being a speaker for the teaching project of one of the most important music schools in the world through concerts recorded in the Sony Auditorium of the Reina Sofía School in Madrid, and in the Botín Center in Santander, among others. Symphonic concerts, chamber music, recitals, and lyrical sessions will showcase the work of the new musicians.
The program is available on My Opera Player starting today, Friday, April 30, with the presentation of two concerts performed by the students of the Reina Sofía School of Music for the Banco Sabadell Foundation’s Young Talents Cycle, with Vincenzo Bellini and Antonín Dvorák as protagonists, and a session called “Musical reunion overlooking the sea” featuring the extraordinary pianist Pallavi Mahidhara – former student of the School – and the young cellist Hayk Sukiasyan.
In addition to the musical performances, the content will be completed with the first two masterclasses; one by Asier Polo, in which he will reveal the essence of Brahms and his codes, and another given by the violinist and co-founder of the Kuss Quartett, Oliver Wille, who will share his knowledge about Beethoven.
The content will be increased in the coming months, with new recordings and teaching activities, which will expand musical knowledge and the diversity of its performers.
To mark this agreement, a subscription promotion to My Opera Player will be available until May 7 with a 25% discount on the usual cost. To benefit from it, it is only necessary to use the code REINASOFIAMOP during the subscription process.
