🌍 World Environment Day 🌍

Creating a more sustainable future requires collaboration, commitment, and long-term action.

Over the past three years, in collaboration with our Sustainability Expert Partner, Theatre Green Book, we have been working alongside 12 opera houses to support the environmental transition of the performing arts sector.

Together, we are identifying the specific sustainability challenges faced by opera houses and helping them reach the Theatre Green Book Basic Standards while progressing through the framework's different levels. Beyond meeting sustainability goals, this work focuses on developing comprehensive, institution-wide strategies that engage every department, from artistic and technical teams, to administration and leadership.

By embedding sustainability into every aspect of their operations, these opera houses are building the foundations for lasting change and demonstrating how culture can play a key role in shaping a more sustainable future.

On this World Environment Day, we celebrate the organisations leading this transformation and the collective effort required to make meaningful progress.

🎭 Heritage is not only something we preserve, it is something we continue to reinvent.

🪭 We had the pleasure of speaking with Eloïse Gilles, at the head of the historic maison Eventails Duvelleroy, founded in Paris in 1827 and revived in 2010 with a contemporary vision, recently joining FEDORA as a Corporate Member.

✨ In this interview, she reflects on reviving one of France’s most iconic fan-making houses, rediscovering its extraordinary archives and reimagining the hand fan as a living artistic object connected to gesture, movement, and the energy of the present.

🌍 The conversation also highlights the essential role of philanthropy in supporting artistic innovation and enabling new creations to emerge through collaboration between artists, cultural institutions and supporters of the arts.

💬 “I think philanthropy is key to support culture for creations that would maybe never have taken place or would take a lot more time to appear or evolve.”

🌍 On the occasion of World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, we are pleased to share a recent collaborative initiative between FEDORA and Versopolis, bringing poetry, opera and dance into dialogue across Europe.

✨ What if the ephemeral moment of live performance could continue to resonate through poetry?

🎭 Starting in 2026, emerging poets will be invited to attend FEDORA Prize-winning productions, immersing themselves in rehearsals and performances and engaging directly with the artistic process.

🖋️ Each selected premiere will inspire an original poetic response, reflecting both the artistic creation on stage and the human experience behind it.

🤝 Through poems, conversations and podcasts, this initiative will extend the life of performance beyond the stage, opening new spaces for reflection, exchange and artistic well-being.

🌐 On this occasion, it is especially meaningful for FEDORA, working with a network of 26 countries and over 130 member institutions, to join forces with another European platform such as Versopolis, strengthening cross-border artistic dialogue and exchange.

🔜 Stay tuned for the poetic encounters to come.
