Welcome to Open Air Opera – opera for all generations! We are a new platform for opera lovers across the globe, presenting the opera stars of tomorrow!
We will provide open air opera live performances all over the world – concerts as well as full-scale opera productions.
Open Air Opera's performances can be found on streets and in informal venues, but we will also present major outdoor concerts and performances. You can enjoy the world of opera, while you enjoy your favorite beer, wine or cocktail!
We will put on indoor performances once in a while, too – in bars, pubs, as well as high-profile opera houses.
Livestreams are a huge part of the future in the opera world. Most of our performances will be streamed live on this website.
Opera must be for everybody! That's why most of our shows will be free.
We are thrilled you are here and we hope you enjoy our website. Please take a moment to drop us a line.
We will try to change the landscape of the opera world, and we hope you will join us on our journey.
