The European Circle
of Philanthropists of
Opera and Ballet
The Teatro La Fenice since the dawn of its history has always been the quintessential place of modernity, exploring new styles in every age, with World Premieres of many Operas that keep being very important over time. For this reason we are therefore delighted to host the 5th edition of the FEDORA Prizes Award Ceremony. We wish to welcome international artists, opera and ballet professionals and donors in Venice. Today, we are celebrating together excellence, innovation and artistic collaboration in the field of opera and ballet. This special occasion shows how essential it is to sustain our joint European cultural heritage. By supporting promising artistic projects created by experienced and emerging artists we can contribute to moving these art forms forward. This event is organized on the occasion of the performance of Don Giovanni by W. A. Mozart, conducted by Jonathan Webb and staged by Damiano Michieletto, one of the most interesting representatives of the younger generation of Italian directors. On behalf of Teatro La Fenice, I would like to welcome you all and wish you a memorable evening at our theatre. Fortunato Ortombina Sovrintendente and Artistic Director of Fondazione Teatro La Fenice

CREATIVE IDEAS
TO LIFE
Founded in 1906 at Paris’ Place Vendôme, the High Jewelry
Maison Van Cleef & Arpels has remained faithful to a highly
distinctive style characterized by creativity, enchantment,
artistic sensibility and poetry. Its collections have notably been
influenced by dance, with the emblematic ballerina clips born
in the 1940s.
This inter-disciplinary dialogue was reinforced by a decisive
encounter with George Balanchine. In 1967 in New York, the well-
known choreographer presented the ballet Jewels, inspired
by the emeralds, rubies and diamonds he had admired in
Van Cleef & Arpels’ Fifth Avenue boutique.
Today, these cultural affinities endure in new collaborations
between the Maison and the world of dance.
The FEDORA – Van Cleef & Arpels Prize for Ballet symbolizes
the Maison’s constant commitment to creativity and bears
witness to its support for choreographic art, by encouraging
new talents.

P. 58Co-OPERAtive:
An intercultural and collaborative
opera hub for young people
by Greek National Opera (Greece)
About the project
Impressions of the crowdfunding campaign
Co-OPERAtive is an opera hub for a mixed group of 60 young Athenians and
unaccompanied refugees aged 15-17. The art of opera will function as a common
language of the first intercultural youth opera hub in Europe. Co-OPERAtive aims to
broaden opera’s appeal to adolescents, highlighting cultural diversity and social
cohesion.
This opera hub will accommodate intensive training in music, dance, and theatre that will
culminate in the staging of the first original intercultural and collaborative opera created
by a youth opera company and inspired by its dreams and aspirations. Foregrounding the
collaborative nature of opera, Co-OPERAtive places collaboration at the heart of its design
and implementation by building strong alliances with two partner organisations, ARSIS and
The HOME Project.
