Holland Animation Film Festival Presents Libertaria: The Virtual Opera

Libertaria: The Virtual Opera - Holland Animation Film Festival - HAFF. Libertaria: The Virtual Opera will be shown March 20 and 21 at the Holland Animation Film Festival! Exciting Times!

The City of Utrecht presents Utrecht as the international City of Music 2014. HAFF joins in with an international theme programme of music and animation. Animation and music have proven to be a fruitful combination. Their inspirational interplay produces a wealth of musical films and cinematic music. The theme runs like a thread through different festival sections. Plus, several programmes have been compiled presenting some far corners of the theme: from abstract visual music to cartoons, and from big themes in dramatic genres like opera and tango to contemporary music videos.

The term visual music is commonly used for abstract, rhythmical films that translate music into images or aim for a cinematic equivalent of music. This can even happen automatically. Conversely, images can be turned into sound by drawing on the soundtrack. The films experiment with a visual language that was inspired by musical elements like harmony and dissonance.The film programme of Norman McLaren’s classics also includes some films around this theme, and the world première of the installation with his work fits in nicely as well. With big themes in music, obviously we immediately think of dramatic genres like tango and opera, where weighty existential issues are profusely addressed.

Or are you willing to take the plunge and create a work in one of the most compelling and cutting edge musical forms...an opera? Almost two years ago I embarked on the largest musical production I have created to date - Libertaria: The Virtual Opera. After writing the award-winning Creation Oratorio and dozens of multimedia works, I wanted to combine my love of the audio and the visual into a single large scale work. Find a Great Dramatic Story You need a strong story to write a compelling opera. Fortunately you can easily borrow from thousands of public domain works and modernize them. Think of West Side Story (just a contemporary version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet) . Many great operas use Shakespeare, the Brothers Grimm , and Biblical stories, all of which include interesting characters, strong themes, and action. Libertaria borrows heavily from messianic stories, but is se
