Description of the Publication: Noticias Uno (Colombia’s national TV) reported on the announcement of the inaugural 2025–2026 Opera CampTM Composition and Libretto Program, an international initiative created and led by Maestro Diego Barbosa-Vásquez. The program—recognized as one of the most rigorous opera-creation processes worldwide—selected its first cohort from 425 applicants across 68 countries. Colombian composer Raúl Esteban Ardila earned first place and emphasized Opera Camp’s mission, designed by Maestro Barbosa-Vásquez, to create opera for society, where communities become active participants in the art form. Ardila’s new opera will be developed within Maestro Barbosa-Vásquez’s interdisciplinary, community-centered framework, with a world premiere in June 2026.
