Meladramma-AI

Interested to know about the world of opera and how it will change with AI? Did you know that here at FBIT we are leading the first AI adaptation of an opera? All profits from this production will go towards scholarships and other support for students in the Faculty of Business and IT. We are opening this up as an XBIT 2500U experience too!

Dr Carolyn McGregor AM, first envisioned the groundbreaking integration of AI into this opera, an idea that inspired and shaped its evolution into a truly unique artistic innovation.  Meladramma AI is a chamber opera by an Albanian composer Olsa Toqi, premiering at the Regent Theatre.  Blending live performance, operatic voice and artificial intelligence, this innovative production reimagines the classical tradition for the 21st century.

Five singers, dancers, and immersive staging bring to life a story that explores humanity's eternal struggle with temptation, curiosity and the research for balance themes drawn from myth, religion and technology that use apple symbolism.

Featuring real-time AI integration, meladramma AI pushes the boundaries of the live theatre offering the audience a unique interactive, and visually stunning experience.
