The ship is sailing with a fair wind. The Òh!pera project by Liceu and DHub reaches its fifth edition with the premiere of three new micro-operas at Fabra i Coats in the Sant Andreu neighborhood of Barcelona on July 2, 3, 4, and 5, as part of the Festival Grec program. The original idea was to ""create a new pool of creators who attract new audiences", as Àlex Ollé, artistic director of Òh!pera, stated in 2022. The purpose remains the same, and year after year, well-established composers, stage directors, and librettists have passed through. One of the three works in 2026 is Jo, núvol, by the composer Sergi Puig Serna from Badalona (who last year premiered I tot caminant em va semblar que el temps reculava in Austria), with stage direction by Lucia del Greco (who also directed the opening show of the Mercat de Música Viva de Vic) and libretto by Alicia Kopf (the publication of the novel Memòria d'Eco, on which the micro-opera is based, is still recent). Another is La vida por los cuernos, a flamenco-opera by Anna Colom from Barcelona (who participated in the tour of Rosalía's El mal querer), with staging by Alexandre Rodríguez Fons (author of Los hijos perdidos de Dios, premiered at Fundació Brossa) and libretto by Pablo Macho Otero (founder of the company La Bella Otero). And the third micro-opera of the year is Opereta, by the composer Arnau Brichs from Barcelona (who premiered Graus de presència in Paris in 2024), which features stage direction by Marc Salicrú (with experience at Liceu as a set designer and lighting designer) and libretto by Pol Guasch (who this year published Relíquia).

To the designer Miguel Milá (1931-2024), more than commissions, he liked to make commissions for himself, among which are the handle of a cane with boxwood, a tie rack, a belt rack and a leather pendant to hold an old coin he had found in the garden. woman, an elegant fly swatter, made of bamboo and leather, and a coat rack that is also a piece of furniture to store helmets and not have them lying around the entrance of the house. Among them all, one of the most famous were some wicker chairs that he ordered when he got married, and that broke in his house because he wanted them to make them.
