opera festival

Staged singing event

An opera festival is an event, typically held annually, at which multiple operas are performed over a concentrated period—usually days or weeks.

Some are destination events in scenic locations: the Glyndebourne Festival, the Santa Fe Opera Festival.

Others anchor a city's cultural calendar.

Festivals may focus on a particular composer, era, or theme.
