The Copenhagen Opera Festival lives, breathes and thrives in the heart of our beautiful city. Each summer, world-class artists take over the streets, canals, halls and homes with the ultimate combinations of song, theatre, film, drama, dance and storytelling: OPERA!
The Festival seeks out inspiring, passionate and bold artists and visionary spaces for Opera to flourish as well as keeping our much-loved traditions alive. The story first began in 2009, and in 2019, more than 40,000 people attended our events.
In 2020, due to Covid-19, the Festival that we knew and loved had to be cancelled, but we were not silent and we did not stay "on pause". Instead, the city rang out with our response to the crisis - 100 Opera Moments - which took place over 5 days, delivering 100 Live Opera performances directly to doorsteps, backyards, open spaces, schools and as gifts which were applied for, to be shared with loved ones.
2021 saw the most glorious re-union with artists and audience alike, when we returned in full bloom, launching our new Festival Stage on Den Røde Plads, presenting new works and commissions alongside the classics, commencing our 3 year plan to present Il Trittico, our Unpacking Opera and Concert series and returning to revisit and enjoy some of our much loved Festival Classics.
The Copenhagen Opera Festival is for you, whether you are an Opera aficionado, or if you are someone who is simply curious about what Opera is and how it might feel to attend. Our programme is a dynamic, vibrant and enticing menu that you can pick from and there are productions, concerts and events for the whole family. We seek to push the boundaries, to discover new talents, to showcase the brilliance of already established World Class Artists and to let the city shine in a thousand forms through the miracle of the human voice.
Welcome to the website of the Copenhagen Opera Festival - we look forward to seeing you in the summer of 2023!
