Opera Compact is a Limburg opera company that works in, with and from the region and its cultural possibilities. Opera Compact stands for qualitative, approachable and accessible productions, talent development, young audiences and cultural participation. 

Art can put things into perspective, expose human incapacity with love, make connections and thereby give strength. In this way art helps to take up a position in society. In an increasingly divided society, artists must seize this ability to connect. The power of opera lies in the connection between the story and the language of music, which can speak to the head and heart when understanding falls short. Opera Compact appeals to a broad target group: everyone can feel welcome, regardless of education, age or background.

The power of opera lies in the connection between stories and music, which can speak to the head and heart when understanding falls short. Opera places themes on a large timeline; Mozart or Puccini also struggled with themes that are relevant today. Opera Compact wants to share these music-theatrical stories with proven eternal value, across all layers of society. By attracting artists from, among other places, their own region (whereby no concessions are made to quality) and by collaborating on content with various local partners, the company binds the audience to itself and keeps them bound. Opera Compact reaches people who normally do not have access to opera. Opera Compact makes high-quality productions that are normally not accessible to people with a smaller budget.

Opera Compact endorses the Governance Code Cultuur (www.governancecodecultuur.nl)

The daily management of the Opera Compact Foundation consists of a permanent core of artistic director Sybrand van der Werf and business director Fenna Ograjensek. Together, Ograjensek and Van der Werf combine a great deal of experience in the field of opera. The day-to-day management is supervised by a Supervisory Board (unpaid).
