It is the European Commission’s Year of European Cultural Heritage. For the EC, cultural heritage is the place ‘where the pasts meets the future’. Cultural organisations across the continent are taking up the challenge to celebrate how their art contributes to European identity.

Opera Europa, the association of opera companies and festival in Europe, has taken up this challenge through the European Opera Days, an opportunity each year around 9 May (Europe Day), for its members to open their opera house doors wide with free events and fun activities.

What does Cultural Heritage mean for opera? At the first ever global gathering of opera professionals – the World Opera Forum at Teatro Real in Madrid in April 2018 – a diverse group of artists, composers, opera managers and public administrators met to address this and other key issues for opera globally.

This video looks at how best opera should celebrate the past and look for meaningful breaks with tradition.
