Sancta is a large-scale international co-production and the first major opera directed by Austrian choreographer and performance artist Florentina Holzinger.

The opera, based on Paul Hindemith’s one-act Sancta Susanna (1922), investigates the relationship between music and the sacred. It draws inspiration from religious practices and will take the form of a service dedicated to themes such as salvation, purification and martyrdom in the 21st century.
