      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/6e890407-97c7-404f-8f22-2ea2c105025c_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0_x710y361.jpg" /></p><p>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 "<a href="https://www.ara.cat/cultura/opera/liceu-impulsa-quatre-microoperes-nova-creacio_1_4422565.html" target="_blank">"create a new pool of creators who attract new audiences",</a> 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 <em>Jo, núvol</em>, by the composer Sergi Puig Serna from Badalona (who last year premiered <em>I tot caminant em va semblar que el temps reculava</em> in Austria), with stage direction by <a href="https://en.ara.cat/culture/lucia-greco-remember-watching-donetes-and-then-wanting-to-get-married-and-have-children_1_5536172.html" target="_blank">Lucia del Greco</a> (who also directed <a href="https://en.ara.cat/culture/live-music-market-with-pop-catalan-mod-and-inter-regional-stars_1_5771140.html" target="_blank">the opening show of the Mercat de Música Viva de Vic</a>) and libretto by <a href="https://en.ara.cat/culture/if-someone-says-that-language-is-something-purely-human-it-s-because-they-haven-t-lived-with-an-animal_128_5682034.html" target="_blank">Alicia Kopf</a> (the publication of the novel <em>Memòria d'Eco</em>, on which the micro-opera is based, is still recent). Another is <em>La vida por los cuernos</em>, a flamenco-opera by Anna Colom from Barcelona (who participated in the tour of Rosalía's <em>El mal querer</em>), with staging by Alexandre Rodríguez Fons (author of <em>Los hijos perdidos de Dios</em>, 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 <em>Opereta</em>, by the composer Arnau Brichs from Barcelona (who premiered <em>Graus de presència</em> in Paris in 2024), which features stage direction by <a href="https://en.ara.cat/culture/marc-salicru-we-ll-take-the-arc-triomphe-by-its-columns-and-make-it-shake_1_5428688.html" target="_blank">Marc Salicrú</a> (with experience at Liceu as a set designer and lighting designer) and libretto by <a href="https://en.ara.cat/culture/there-is-nothing-morbid-or-tragic-about-the-story-of-my-father-s-suicide_128_5628843.html" target="_blank">Pol Guasch</a> (who this year published <em>Relíquia</em>).</p>]]></description>
