About the Format

What is a child prodigy? What is the "Viennese sound"? And how democratic is art?

These could be questions like those asked at Dialog am Löwensofa. It is a series of discussions in which experts from various fields such as art, journalism, psychology and science talk about topics from the world of opera and (performing) arts.

Exclusively for members of the Official Circle of Friends of the Vienna State Opera!
