Background
"Opera for all" is a global BMW initiative. It's goal is to bring reticent art of opera to masses through a series of free open-air events. Russian BMW unit decided to participate in it as a part of BMW's long-term relations with Bolshoy Theater (the most famous Russian theater).
BMW came to Pichesky to find the new approach to the event and find solution that will amplify the experience in an out-of-the-box way.
Idea
You need to hear in order to listen to opera. That's why "Opera for all" appeared to be not actually for all. As far as Russia lacks inclusive events, we wanted to make our initiative available for people with hearing disorders.
Strategy
BMW is globally known as an "art-patron" – it's a part of brands positioning. In Russia we are long-term partners of Garage Museum of Contemporary Arts and Bolshoy Theater. But even though they have a name and reputation, not so many people actually know about that due to popularity of contemporary arts and affordability of Bolshoy.
They needed a HUGE widely-noticeable event that will prove itself as "avaliable for everyone".
"Opera for all" was just the right choice and we needed to amplify the "For all" part.
