We hereby present

"The Virtual (Rock) Operas" ©

or

"A Diversity of 'Operas' on Global Issues"

All created between 2003 - 2010 by the people of the world via the internet

"What unites people more than those who are able to create art together?"

'For those who create art together, see no boundaries between nations, experience no cultural or political differences'

The Virtual Operas is the initiative of Foundation VRO of the Netherlands with the intent of creating 1, 10 or 100 Opera's via Internet with an active participation by persons of the world, united creatively via the world-wide web. Simply, everyone who has access to the internet can assist in composing the operas, defining the true essence of the term "Virtual" as A United Nation

Even at this moment, positive reactions have been received from private persons, businesses and organisations from the international community who are willing to assist in driving the project forward. Among the afore-mentioned are: The city's of Delft, Rotterdam, Amsterdam of the Netherlands, London and Liverpool; Orchestras and international broadcasting companies from The Netherlands, Italy, Great Britain and Korea.
The project is becoming a movement, a link between Global Health, Global Peace, Global Environment, Global Democracy etc. All this, while people exchange their thoughts through the internet, in a peaceful artistic way. At least it seems to be? Even though we do not generate the same amount of people as the 'The Cluetrain Manifesto' does, we, from our part, have not yet done our best to establish such. We will start to generate and attract a large audience once the NPC-platform (A Network-Project and Communication Plafform) is finished in 2003 and we will continue to do so up until at least 2008/2010 (and hopefully for many more years beyound).

If you personally, your company, organisation or institution is interested to participate, to donate, to adopt one of the programs or you would want to receive more information on how you can help people become part of this total experience in ambient intelligence and ambient culture, please contact us by E-mail: rockproject@6xa.nl.

Donations

Donations are welcome. 'Of course' you'll probably say, 'But what do I get in return?' The answer is straight and simple, in the beginning not much. Only -if you wish- then we'll mention you on this website together with the reasons why. But furthermore that you'll be remembered for at least up until 2010 for the fact that you donated in the past, on the towards future upcoming website, the NPC-portal.

Those of you who have donated and who want the world o know can mention this in the 'Donation' or 'Adoption' E-mail. For example: I have given a donation because....?:
'I sympathise with the Prince of the Netherlands on the 'Water' issue';
'I sympathise with Bono on the 'Humanity' issue';
'I sympathise with everything 'The United Nations' stand for';
'I simply sympathise with the philosophy of the total 'VRO' project'; etc.
