Benvenuti all’Opera!- Welcome to Opera!

On 25 October it’s the sixth edition of World Opera Day! 

In the end of 2023 the Practice of Opera Singing in Italy was added to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. With Benvenuti all’Opera, we invite you to celebrate World Opera Day in resonance with this beautiful recognition.

The practice of opera singing is the heart of the art of opera. Song has the power to awaken emotions and bring people together. Benvenuti all’Opera is an invitation to all our communities to discover our beloved art and its beautiful values. 

We invite anyone to join the celebration: singers, choirs, companies, opera-lovers! You are welcome to perform some hits or rare pieces of the Italian repertoire ; you can showcase projects displaying the benefits of singing and its social value or open your doors or curtains on unexplored secrets of your art to your communities.

There are so many ways to celebrate Italian opera, bring emotions to citizens of the world and showcase the value of opera for society. The opera world is full of creative resources, and we trust you will join this initiative to make the world recognise opera’s contribution to our communities.
