Distinguished directors Stefan Herheim and Atom Egoyan enjoy a transatlantic chinwag later today.
Both directors have created controversial stagings of Salome (Herheim's is pictured above), which they will discuss in the more general context of innovation in opera. Den Norske Opera host Herheim, and the Canadian Opera Company entertain Egoyan in a pair of concurrent open seminars (in English) which will be linked by video.
You can watch live on Den Norske Opera's website - or below - at 17:00GMT, which is 6pm UK.
**UPDATE** if you're watching the recorded stream, forward to 12:15 for the start of the presentation. It begins with analyses of the opera and the two productions. Atom Egoyan comes on at 1:14:15 and Stefan Herheim at 1:27:30. The director discussions are more rewarding than the preamble, but you may not follow the former if you don't listen to the latter. The stream is around 2 hours long.
