Fedora Digital Prize 2020: Discover the winning project

We are delighted to announce the winner of the first time ever Fedora Digital Prize: Laila - Immersive Installation by Finnish National Opera + Ballet!

Out of four nominees, an independent jury of experts, including the IMZ, awarded the project Laila as the clear winner, visualising a great vision in the field of opera+ballet in the digital!

Laila is an interactive opera experience created by composer Esa-Pekka Salonen, dramaturge Paula Vesala and Ekho Collective. The work makes bold use of new technologies while extending reality into a mesmerising + collaborative experience.

“We create a universe within which things can happen uniquely to you. Depending on what you say, depending on how you move within the space, depending on how you interact with other visitors.” - Esa-Pekka Salonen

The IMZ is proud of the great collaboration with FEDORA, the platform aiming at nurturing European innovation + creativity and at increasing the reach and accessibility of opera + ballet.
