Ruben Zahra

As a freelance composer and producer I create children’s operas and music theatre productions targeting young audiences. I currently have 5 productions touring internationally:

SALTICE – premiered on the 24th of Jan 2024 for the Bad Ischl Salzkammergut European Capital of Culture 2024.

KIRANA – children’s opera project

PARADE & the Velvet Gentleman – Satie / Picasso / Cocteau

KINDERKLAVIER – vintage toy pianos

BEETHOVEN FOREVER – a music journey through all of Beethoven’s 9 symphonies.

Aims

My aim is to develop the production of children’s opera and music theatre projects for young audiences. I am interested in contemporary expression, interdisciplinary expression as well as the application of multimedia and new technology for children.

A flagship project

KIRANA – children’s opera project
Connecting children from your city with professional artists through a series of workshops leading to a multimedia production. KIRANA has been presented in 18 different countries.
