WORK IN DEVELOPMENT
QUEER STORIES
OF JOY
Starting from a six months project in collaboration with the podcast INSELMILIEU and Volksoper Wien, Civic Opera Creations looks at the positive moments of queer life to give them their stage. Throughout the process, we create opportunities for queer artists*, the diverse spectrum of queer humans and allies to connect, be represented and take part.
First in a song cycle and foto exhibition and in the next years a full opera under the umbrella of the "QUEER STORIES OF JOY" project.





What does queer joy mean to you?
What special or everyday moments come to your mind? What (or who) incites this feeling of happiness?
