2000/ 01

With his internet-opera "Virtopera" Eberhard Schoener is getting down to a new medium of our times. The virtual character "Cold Genius" is traveling around the world to get in touch with people through music. Live events in Mantua (Italy), Salvador di Bahia (Brazil), Calcutta (India) and Cologne (Germany) are published over the internet. Artists from all those countries are playing music together with Eberhard Schoener and the internet-users can participate interactively with the project. They are writing words, which are set to music and they can decide over the fate of Cold Genius. In Cologne the musicians of the four Live-events meet again: amongst them Helen Schneider, who he shares a friendship between artist for many years, Laurence Gien, who always took part in Eberhards operas, his friends from Brazil, Mariella Santiago and Wilson Café.
