"the Architecture of the Voice is the body of my work"

Iris Skolidi is a Greek stage director, soprano, and architect based in Amsterdam. Her work unfolds where voice meets space, developing opera as a spatial, physical, and social experience.

​She creates interdisciplinary productions — including Orfeo ed Euridice, Opera Bizarre, Reimagining Water, and Imaginations — that integrate voice, body, and spatial thinking while balancing musical tradition with experimental staging.

​

Iris collaborates as performer and maker with institutions such as  World Opera Lab, Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, Splendor Amsterdam, CREA, Athens-Epidaurus Festival, Greek National Theater, and Greek National Opera. She also works with Dutch National Opera as Assistant Stage Director, contributing to large-scale productions while continuing to craft works that position the operatic voice as a medium for connection, participation, and contemporary reflection.
