DialogScene is a special music theatre workshop announced by the Peter Eötvös Contemporary Music Foundation aiming to help young composers to produce contemporary duets for stage and give them an insight of how an opera can unfold from the first ideas of a libretto to the very last beat of a premiere.

In the first phase (8-13 February) participating composers will work on their duets with PASCAL DUSAPIN and PETER EÖTVÖS. The fellow professors will select five composers to be invited to return to Budapest for the second phase (4-15 September).

During the production phase five best duet-scenes of the workshop will be presented at Budapest Music Center staged by young directors of the University of Theatre and Film Arts. The young composers will also have the possibility to work closely with the singers, attend rehearsals and make compositional adjustments with the guidance of Peter Eötvös and Gergely Vajda.

The climax of DialogScene is the premiere of the five selected duet-scenes on the 15th of September 2017 at Budapest Music Center.
