OPERA HOUSE 432

Opera House, 432 is a multi-media educational project by the Culture and Innovation Foundation Futura – a non-profit organization created to support public initiatives in all spheres of life.

The mission of Opera House, 432 encompasses popularizing academic music throughout the world and striving to become a new and accessible door to a deep and vibrant cultural space that is vital for every person. We believe that, with the help of modern means of communication, the significance, relevance, and value of cultural enlightenment may be available to any person, regardless of their preferences and beliefs.

Opera House, 432 is a chance to discover a different musical aesthetic, to find a way to overcome the barrier of “inaccessibility” or “elitism”– stereotypes regarding this type of music, and, additionally, to uncover the fact that this music remains pertinent to modern life. 

Opera House, 432 is for people who feel the need for self-improvement, and, therefore, are searching for new information, new content, and new cultural contexts for their reflection. This project is for those who strive to think critically and build their own well-founded opinions; for those who place importance on raising their level of erudition, education, and cultural refinement; and for those who yearn for new discoveries.

Opera House, 432 is not only about culture but is also about the coming together of people in the broadest sense of the word: geographically – we are for the whole world; chronologically – we unite different generations, young and old; and socially – we are free, and we are accessible to all.

Opera House, 432 is primarily music presented as online-streams, broken down into time periods. Currently, the streams comprise Baroque, Classical, and Romantic – all the best works from these time periods. A thematic stream for children and parents, entitled “Kids,” is also under development. The number of streams will grow over time based on listeners’ interests. Every stream entails the creation of a unique playlist, a cocktail of true alchemy comprising multiple “ingredients” measured and mixed with mathematical precision: genre, instruments, duration, variation, tempo, and mood – but let us not reveal all our secrets. 🙂

Opera House, 432 is not only online musical streams but also content and information delivered nobrow (without snobbery or vulgar amateurism) by explaining the music of a given period as a unified stream in which each of the elements is important: culture, history, politics, philosophy, science, and literature. We do this without departing from our contemporary context, which means that we remain simultaneously involved with the past and the present. These short and entertaining original materials are specially designed for our listeners.

Opera House, 432 is only commencing its journey, yet already we envision many new vectors of development: podcasts, thematic selections for playlists, our own TV programs, and special partnership projects with educational, entertainment, and social foci. We actively invite everyone to participate in the development and realization of these new ideas: by providing feedback, sharing personal opinions, and creating original materials that we could share on our media platforms (site, social media, YouTube channel, etc.).

Today we observe an impulse towards the rebirth of the “eternal” or the “universal.” The realization comes that without “something more profound” there is only a surface: a uniform flatness, here and now, without inner freedom and with an absence of a complete and full spiritual life. Classical music is a very potent antidote, an ideal defense against emotional pain, fear, and loneliness – emotions that are common among almost all of us. We are convinced that classical music can gradually create a serene atmosphere and become a healing ether for more and more people, and it will enable each of us to choose a proper path, improve ourselves, and make our lives more meaningful and fulfilling. All it takes is to make classical music a part of your inner space.  It will be our pleasure to help you accomplish this.
