OperAffinity Festival
Todi - Festival - Opera Program 8-14 SEPTEMBER 2025
An opportunity for a select number of emerging international singers to participate in the second edition of the OperAffinity Festival in Todi, Umbria, Italy, from the 8th to 14th September 2025.
Following the success of our inaugural festival in 2023, where 12 singers participated in the opera program—many of whom went on to perform in Europe's leading opera houses—we are expanding our program. This year, we are thrilled to collaborate with some of Italy's leading musical institutions, including musicians from the Accademia Chigiana and L'Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
“Participating in the OperAffinity Musica Festival was an incredible experience that prepared me perfectly for my La Scala debut a few months after the festival, which led to an international career. It showcased the very best in international talent, offering a unique experience to both the audiences and the local Umbrian communities."

Professional Development
Singers will have the chance to create a professional audition package, including a recording session in an Italian opera house, resulting in a polished, high-quality audition video.
Public performances will take place throughout the festival in stunning historic venues across Todi.
During the previous Festival, singers from our opera program were featured on RAI national Italian television. This year, we aim to expand on this media exposure as we welcome musicians from Accademia Chigiana and L'Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
Daily concerts throughout the festival will allow singers to perform alongside top musicians, network with institutional professionals, and experience everything the beautiful town of Todi has to offer.
An Opera Gala Performance will be held at the historic Teatro Comunale di Todi, built in 1876, with a seating capacity of 501, spread over four levels of galleries.
