2024—2026Where nothing standsbetween artist & audience
Salon Opera brings world-class opera into intimate settings, reviving the salon as a space for music, storytelling, and human connection.
Our repertoire spans beloved works such as La Traviata, La Bohème, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly, alongside more ambitious undertakings including Turandot, all reimagined for the intimacy of the salon. We have collaborated with a new generation of outstanding artists, including countertenor Kangmin Justin Kim, tenor Luis Gomes, soprano Gemma Summerfield, and mezzo-soprano Stephanie Wake-Edwards.
