Arturo Fuentes
Over the course of the past two decades, Arturo Fuentes (an Austrian citizen born in Mexico in 1975) has created a highly diverse catalog of over one hundred works. In recent years, he has ventured into creating scenography and directing his own music theater projects, such as the opera-monodrama Carlota (2018), which was dedicated to Sarah Maria Sun and the Klangforum Wien.
