"Combine your training with professional Operatic stage performances"!

Opera Noord is a small but well-organized and extremely efficient professional opera company. The name refers to the area, where the first productions were executed. Several of those productions found their way to the ‘Festival Oude Muziek’ (Early Music Festival) in Utrecht and Amsterdam's Concertgebouw. On November 6, 2013 their latest project, Le Nozze di Figaro, was concluded with performances in The Haque and Haarlem. We are very pleased to announce that we will collaborate with this organization.

Our first joint project will be Die Verkaufte Braut by Bedřich Smetana.

SUMMER ACADEMY 2015

For the second time our summer course will be intertwined with an opera production. On July 18, 2015 the IBA-training will be concluded with a public concert, consisting of two parts: -before the break participants will sing arias and duets from various operas -after the break Opera NHN will present a semi-staged performance of Puccini's Gianni Schicchi with piano accompaniment.
As a follow up of the IBA-summer course Opera NHN will realize one or more performances of Gianni Schicchi in Dutch theaters. Participation in the IBA-summer course entails a role in this production or as many roles that can be cast. Depending on the financial possibilities, the opera will be executed with piano or orchestra.
