Introducing the partners

The ROLE project is the outcome of several transnational collaborations between the Conservatorio Statale di Musica Cesare Pollini in Padua, Italy, and a number of other Higher Music Education (HME) institutions and stakeholders. 

​

On the one hand, the film-opera production will be realised through an international partnership with the Hogeschool Gent School of Arts in Ghent, Belgium. The cast will comprise students and faculty members from both institutions, highlighting the project’s collaborative and educational dimensions. The project will also collaborate with the film production company SkinTXT, which specialises in prosthetic make-up. Their expertise will allow for the realistic transformation of performers’ facial features, ensuring a natural and convincing visual result.

​

On the other hand, all communication and dissemination activities will be coordinated by the Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC), a European network of over 320 HME institutions worldwide, of which the project’s academic partners are Active members.
