Short description

The InclusivOpera project, coordinated by Prof. Elena Di Giovanni since its onset, is aimed at people with sensory and cognitive impairments, with a special focus on young people. All opera performances are audio described for blind or partially sighted people, with Italian and English pre-recorded introductory descriptions also available online. They also provide fully guided multisensory tours, sign-language-interpreted tours, personal hearing assistant, live subtitles in Italian and English for all opera performances.

Main guidelines & principles extrapolated

  • Project realised in international partnership Italian and international partners: Ente Nazionale Sordi (ENS) - Section of Macerata; Museo Statale Tattile Omero of Ancona; Unione Italiana Ciechi e Ipovedenti (UICI) - Section of Macerata; Municipality of Macerata; University of Macerata; University of Pittsburgh, USA.
  • Accessibility has had the merit of creating awareness of different needs, inclusion has evoked and evokes the need for the participation of all in the social and cultural life of every country in the world, to ensure and enhance individual and collective well-being.
  • Before each performance there are activities such as an inclusive treasure hunt open to blind and visually impaired, deaf and hard of hearing children and young people aged 6 to 15 years, multisensory tours: discovering the voices of Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Italian Sign Language tour: discovering the set and props etc.
