W Modenie Projekt Butterfly niedawno rozpoczął współpracę z włoską szkołą w celu stworzenia opery zrównoważonej. Spotkanie to stanowiło pierwszy krok w ramach współpracy Project Butterfly with schools  , mającej na celu promowanie związku między sztuką a zrównoważonym rozwojem.

Project Butterfly has entered in its “Sustainability and Opera Workshops in School” phase, conducting meetings not only in Italy but also in Poland and Finland thanks to the cooperation and support of the environmental agency AESS. While Project Butterfly’s collaboration with the Italian school is taking shape at the Teatrze Miejskim Pavarotti-Freni, in Poland it will occur through the partnership with , Opera Baltycka, and in Finland, with the support of Opera Box. 

On the 20th of September, they all gathered to witness the dress rehearsal of the first opera of the season, “L’Elisir d’Amore” written by Gaetano Donizetti, which has been reimagined under the direction of Stefania Panighini. This new interpretation takes into consideration current social themes and prominent figures. As an example of this contemporary reimagining of the opera, the main character, Adina, has been loosely inspired by the iconic climate activist Greta Thunberg.
