Opera Concordia was founded with the vision of making opera accessible to a wider audience and renewing its relevance in the rapidly changing cultural climate of our times. This vision has two facets to it: on the one hand, it aims to make opera more inclusive by extricating it of the ceremony with which it is often prescribed in the historic world opera houses, and by bringing opera to small venues in remote locations and to audiences which may not have had access to an opera house, or may have otherwise felt alienated by the sense of protocol surrounding the occasion.
The secondary facet to the Opera Concordia vision is to grant young and up-and-coming professionals from all parts of Europe and from all disciplinary fields pertinent to the production of opera, the opportunity for a head-start in an industry which is ostensibly difficult to break into.
Opera is irrefutably one of the pillars of Pan-European culture and identity, and it is of vital importance that it is conveyed to the future generations as a vibrant, inclusive, and constantly developing cultural medium.
