China’s Huawei Technologies has linked up with the National Opera of Paris to create an academy platform aimed at bringing together digital technology, art, and education.

The joint project aims to put performances and other art-related resources online for viewers to view free of charge as part of efforts to promote the arts, Huawei said in a statement. The digital academy will also support training by hosting Massive Open Online Courses on a wide range of art-related topics.

“We are honored to work with the National Opera of Paris to build the Digital Academy, where we can jointly explore the interaction between digital technology and art,” said Huawei Deputy Chairman Ken Hu. “With the help of digital technology, we’re looking forward to an exciting future – a world where the Opera’s work in both art and education is more open and available to everyone.”

The system will come online next year to coincide with the 350th anniversary of the establishment of the Paris Opera. Under the agreement, Huawei and the Opera will invest a combined EUR0.9 million (USD1 million).
