Lipparella - Productions and Repertoire

In recent years, Lipparella has carried out a number of projects that have focused on the relationship between text, music and space, where new musical works have been staged in an art form between concert and music drama. In this context, Lipparella has collaborated with directors Johan Petri and Karl Dunér, as well as lighting makers, scenographers and librettists.
