Opera Stories

Opera Stories tells the plots of great operas in short episodes of about 75 seconds, one turning point at a time.

Each episode reveals a new twist, names and explains the famous aria of that moment, and ends just when you want to know what happens next. The stories are told in a calm synthetic voice, with living paintings inspired by 18th-century oil portraits. Both the voice and the moving paintings are created with AI.

Every story is checked against the original libretto, so the characters, events, and details stay true to the opera. The aim is simple: to make great operas easy to follow, even if you have never seen one on stage, while keeping their wit, emotion, and human drama alive.

The first series tells Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro in 12 episodes, following the twists and secrets of one extraordinary day.
