Lucia is a groundbreaking classical opera reimagined in XR, transporting audiences into the fragile mind of its heroine during the iconic “mad scene.” With bone-conducting earphones, live opera singing and VR headsets, it is a spectacle to behold, while empathetic like never before. It brings audiences closer to Lucia's world.

We are the bridge-builders for immersive creators. Our role in Lucia was to represent this deeply immersive project beyond the headset. One of the greatest challenges of XR is the XR headset itself: a powerful portal, yet often a barrier for new audiences. Working alongside the creators, directors, and producers, we imagined how best to carry their vision into more accessible forms — the flat screen.

To do this, we combined cinematic music video aesthetics with interviews, documentary-style b-rolls, and Luma 3D capture, shifting fluidly between flat and virtual spaces. The result was a hybrid piece that conveys not only the immersive magic of the opera, but also the heart of the people who brought it to life.

For us, Lucia was more than documentation. It was storytelling through translation. A bridge that allowed new audiences to glimpse the depth of immersive opera, and perhaps to imagine themselves stepping into a classical opera concert hall one day.
