From September to December 2020, we were happy to welcome our interns, Alex Yap, Kelvin Tan, Koay Wan Ern, Logan Chai and Low Chyh Leng to the KLCO family. During their time in their internship, they were tasked to compose an original opera as their final project. Even with the CMCO implemented halfway through their internship, they managed to compose their opera and even present a workshop performance of Kiyoko in KLCO Studio.
OPERAKUL 2020
In 2020, OperaKUL was to come back bigger and better than before! What was once a week-end long event, was to be a festival spanning months across 2020. Unfortunately, due to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, many of the events had to be pushed forward to 2021. However, we were fortunate enough to present events during the second half of 2020 with the theme: “OperaKUL-er than ever!”. Together with the #SaveMYOpera campaign that ran during the Movement Control Order (MCO), Here were the events under our OperaKUL 2020.
Opera Chit-Chat (Virtual Series)
KLCO started its first ever virtual chit-chat series called Opera Chit-Chat in the face of Malaysia’s first lockdown due to Covid-19. This series involved KLCO’s artistic team and principals artists, providing insights into KLCO’s productions to members of the public. Ranging from topics such as children’s choirs to conducting to vocal coaching and past productions.
