The MAMA Class
Last edition
āWhy MAMA? Because you love arts and you think we need managers to innovate and develop them. Because it is time to get rid of the eternal dualism between curatorship and management, we need competent managers with passion and interest for the artistic field they work in, respecting roles and differences, and contributing to the development of the field.ā

We are thrilled to be part of the SDA Bocconi MAMA journey by sharing our experience and passion for opera, theatre and the performing arts with the next generation of arts managers. The Komische Oper Berlin was founded by Walter Felsenstein in 1947 at a time of great transformation following the Second World War. His motto was Ā» Kunst ohne Konvention, Vorurteile und KĆ¼nstlereitelkeitenĀ« ā art free from convention, preconceptions and vanity. We continue to hold fast to these ideals and encourage future leaders who remain curious and open to change; who in a world that is rapidly and drastically transforming, make decisions that safeguard and prioritise art.
Arts and culture organizations are critical for the development of individuals and societies. It is of utmost importance to support the growth and sustainability of such organizations through skilled professionals, making sure that the effective conservation of heritage and production of art is paired with accessibility and outreach, to increase their impact and enlarge their audiences. Arts Management programs represent an opportunity for young professionals and cultural institutions to gain specific skills and competencies in the management of the arts.
