Opera & Artificial Intelligence

Mexico

This talk will trace the relationship between opera and technology throughout history, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence. It will explore how AI is already influencing—and how it may come to shape or determine—a wide range of aspects of opera, including libretto writing, music composition, set and costume design, voice manipulation, and even the audience’s perception and experience. Throughout the talk, participants will engage in practical exercises in libretto writing and production design, using artificial intelligence software to explore its creative possibilities within opera.
