About Us
In order to guarantee the future of opera and ballet, the next generation of artists needs to be supported as advocated by Rolf Liebermann. In times of diminishing public funding, FEDORA has thus established under the presidency of Jérôme-François Zieseniss four prizes that are awarded to promising teams who collaborate on the creation of new opera or ballet co-productions, and on the involvement and education of new and young audiences.

Impact and statistics
Over a four-year period, this European initiative will lead the way in advocating new funding models for the performing arts, by creating a sustainable eco-system between the cultural and economic sector and by setting up the structural, social, and economic conditions necessary to guarantee the future of the cultural heritage of opera and ballet in Europe.
The European Platform will build on the FEDORA association’s current efforts to renew and nurture the art forms of opera and ballet on an artistic and economic level. This will involve 26 Platform Members in 14 countries, with the potential to grow over time (FEDORA’s existing network consists of 95 cultural organizations in 25 countries) and will be reaching out via a major pan-European on- and offline communication and branding campaign to reach out to approx. 4 million people.
