A EUROPEAN NETWORKFEDORA encourages innovation and creativity in opera and ballet through an international Prizes competition initiated under the presidency of Jérôme-François Zieseniss. The network federates 95 opera houses, festivals, ballet companies and friends associations in 25 countries, as well as individual, corporate donors and foundations to create a sustainable ecosystem between the cultural and economic sector guaranteeing the future of opera and ballet.
A UNIQUE EUROPEAN PLATFORM (www.fedora-platform.com)Thanks to 2 million euros of co-funding of the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, FEDORA harnesses the digital shift to showcase artistic works-in-progress on its European Platform. Thereby it reaches out to a new generation of people, allowing them to promote and support new operas and ballets online.
