Echos Operafest Lisboa 2022

19 AUG to 10 SEP

Garden of Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga

We brought the emotions of opera directly to 5000 people, including 1500 children and young people!

37% of our audience enjoyed opera for the first time!
We’ve touched as well a significant number of audiences who not only came to opera for the first time but particularly to contemporary opera.

We showcased emerging young talent: singers musicians, conductors, creatives stage directors, and composers!

"We believe in the transforming power of opera and how it can bring our sorrows to a higher level!"
