iOpera - an exciting project by Swedish composer Fredrik Hogberg has just been announced and it wants to be the "Second Life" of the Opera world: "Monteverdi defined the art-form known as opera and Wagner turned it into an integrated form of art. Blomdhal brought opera to television and Bergman made a motion picture out of The Magic Flute. Now it is time for opera to take another giant leap into a greater world - the internet.
A virtual opera will constantly be developed by user contributions and offers many interactive features. Control opera-avatars and interact via webcam, choose performers, create scenography, mix the orchestra and much more.
The Woman of Cain, the first opera designed solely for the Internet, will combine film, video, graphic design, photo, animation, game design, virtual worlds, interactivity and more.
