CIVIC OPERA CREATIONS (COCREATIONS) is a producer for new innovative music theater and opera created in dialogue and thought exchange between communities and artists. In connection with new technologies and impulses from interdisciplinary scenes,we expand the traditional opera space and its narratives. Founded in Vienna in 2020, COCREATIONS builds bridges between traditional and new structures and creates new methods of cooperation and reference to establish opera as a representative part of the 21st century and a place for repeated encounters.

Patricia Martinez (1973-2022)

With great sadness, we mourn the loss of our friend and collaborator Patricia Martinez. The Argentinian composer and artist died last Saturday morning at the age of 49 in Buenos Aires. An endlessly creative artist, she opened realms to worlds unknown, doors for all who will come after her and dedicated herself to expanding what we define as and how we experience music and opera.

 

We dearly miss her as a passionate, decisive, boundary-pushing, intelligent and kind team member and dedicate ourselves to finish producing her last opera THE END OF THE WORLD. 

Our thoughts go out to her family and friends, 

Carmen C. Kruse, Leonora Scheib & the team of Civic Opera Creations
