The Operosa Montenegro Opera Festival takes place in the stunning open air Kanli Kula Fortress Amphitheater overlooking the Adriatic Sea in Herceg Novi in Montenegro. The Festival combines unique performances of international opera talent with the rich local cultural heritage attracting an ever growing audience and media from across the world.
Operosa was founded by mezzo soprano Katherine Haataja in 2006 and the first open air opera festival was launched in June 2007 with a fully staged up-dated production of “Don Giovanni” by W.A. Mozart at Evksinograd Castle in Varna, Bulgaria. Operosa has since expanded into Montenegro and Serbia with numerous opera performances, classical music concerts and recitals featuring artists from all over the world.
