Operosa

Operosa was founded by mezzo soprano Katherine Haataja in 2006 to promote young opera talent in the Balkan region. The aim of Operosa is to focus on repertoire ideally suited for young opera singers while working with established international guest artistic directors and showcasing opera as a modern form of art.
Operosa launched the first open air opera festival in June 2007 with a fully staged up-dated production of “Don Giovanni” by W.A. Mozart at Evksinograd Castle in Varna, Bulgaria. Operosa has since expanded into Montenegro and Serbia with numerous opera performances, classical music concerts, recitals and the Operosa International Singing Competition attracting an ever growing local and international audience and media.

Operosa has also developed a Young Singers’ Educational Program Operosa Academia with Master Classes, Recitals, Lectures and Workshops. You can find more information about these activities on the ACADEMIA page.

The Operosa Forum is the social network of all aspiring and established opera and classical music professionals and friends of the performing art. It is a worldwide online platform where artists can network between engagements and present examples of their latest work.
