Africa’s First AI-Generated Opera Debuts at Baxter Theatre
The Baxter Theatre is making history by staging Autoplay, Africa’s first AI-generated opera. This groundbreaking production blends artificial intelligence with human artistry, using AI to compose music, generate lyrics, and shape elements of the performance. While some see AI as a revolutionary tool for expanding creative possibilities, others question its impact on traditional opera craftsmanship. The production sparks debate on whether AI can truly capture the emotional depth of human-composed works or if it serves as a new frontier for artistic experimentation.
