Opera retablO

Opera retablO performs both nation-wide and internationally, presenting creations balanced between innovation and archaism. They employ a contemporary approach that is both destabilising and cathartic. Their work looks to the future, questioning any kind of classification or prejudice, transcending aesthetic, sexual and intellectual categories.
