OUR HISTORY

OPERAMA INTERnational SINCE 1989

Operama has been the most important and most ground-breaking opera Production Company ever. In these pages, you will find details about its major productions staged in the most important cities of the world. It was born out of the inspiration of Italian orchestra conductor Maestro Giuseppe Raffa, who since the very beginning of his artistic career had wished to bring to larger and wider audiences the great Italian music tradition of opera.

This is due partly to the change of tastes of the public but it is also true that opera and classical music never became popular with the ever growing middle class, since these art forms have come to be considered for the exclusive enjoyment of cultural and economic elites. And this was at the base of the Operama concept; large productions with majestic sceneries, almost cinematic lavish stage sets with hundreds of actors on stage together with the singers, and digital sound amplification and later also projections for the recreation of virtual sceneries. All tools and elements that bring opera back to a popular dimension.

The result has always been the same in front of the enormous audiences of Toronto, Hong Kong, London, Barcelona, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Kiel, Munich, Montreal, Melbourne, Berlin, Barcelona, Seville, San Sebastian, Sydney, Frankfurt, London, Lisbon, Sydney, Tokyo, Madrid, Berlin, Vancouver, Cape Town, Pretoria, and many more. This was and remains forever Operama, an innovative and revolutionary concept created by Maestro Giuseppe Raffa who is justifiably proud for the results and the impact of his achievements, with many new opera companies imitating his productions and thus continuing the mission of popularisation of Opera.
