In Austria, the second act of the opera entitled “Reflections on Friendship” took place on September 28, 2024 at 17:00 in the Pavel House, Pavlova hiša, the cultural center of the Slovenian minority in Styria in Bad Radkersburg. The starting point of the experience is a walk from the city center to the venue, accompanied by local songs, hospitality and culinary tradition. The audience is invited to an immersive musical experience that takes place next to an oversized bird’s nest, the symbol of home, coziness and a place to gain freedom. This narrative is intended to invite people to reflections on the meaning of friendship. Reflections on the values that build on the foundation of friendship and its connection to nature. A path marked with QR codes will continue to lead friends to the house outside the city and invite them to visit this place of genuine human encounters.
