    A 15 to 18 year old journalist? Are they kidding? Aren’t immature 15 to 18 y/os up to their necks with high school and all that? And what do they know about life and the world let alone the world of opera and singing and classical music? This is a fool’s errand.

    This is a project of one week’s duration during the school vacation period (Herbstferien). They use the term journalist in the invitation, but this of course is an outreach project to teenagers. Getting teenagers to experience opera and write/video-report about it to other teenagers looks like a good project.

  • Alexandra Ivanoff says:

    I think this is a clever marketing idea. Teenagers are so saturated by the global pop music machine that they are not aware of what other musical choices are out there. The image they have of opera is tainted by negative peer pressure that assumes it is something for old people. So, a curious and expressive teen reporter who goes backstage, talks to the singers and conductors, and witnesses performances will be able to create a totally different and energized picture of what opera really is. His/her peers are bound to try it out as a result. Smart thinking by the Staatsoper, and I hope other companies around the world do it too.
