Featured Work
A Fantastic Bohemian – The Tales of Hoffmann Revisited
An immersive experience, performed across three spaces (a salon, workshop and theatre/noir experience) through Arcola’s building, which takes place during the artistic and cinematic golden age of Mexico (1930’s-1950’s).
By relocating this opera from a tavern in Nuremberg in the late 1880’s to a salon danzon in the 1940’s, Talia recreated this artistic atmosphere where audiences were invited to step into a fantastic bohemian universe, meeting these historical characters and encounter vice, love, passion, treachery and all timeless signs of human condition and operatic poetic in one night.
