  • Residency at Villa Aurora, Los Angeles

    Residency at Villa Aurora, Los Angeles

    I am delighted to have received a Stipendium from Villa Aurora in Los Angeles. I take up a residency there from October–December 2025, to work on a large new opera project. Alongside the historic Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles, Villa Aurora maintains and cultivates the landmark home of exiled German-Jewish writer Lion Feuchtwanger and his wife Marta as a residence for an international body of artists, with both houses and residency programmes supported by the German Foreign Office and the Office for Culture and Media.
