Our Artistic Identity
Opus Chamber Philharmonic operates through three interconnected artistic pillars:
-
A flexible international orchestra
Performing symphonic, chamber, and cross‑disciplinary repertoire with adaptable instrumentation and a modern artistic approach.
-
An independent opera company — OPERA OPUS
Creating operatic productions ranging from intimate chamber opera to larger scenic projects, often in collaboration with international artists and institutions.
-
A cultural partner in international collaboration
Engaging in co‑productions, touring projects, and artistic exchanges that strengthen dialogue across borders and artistic disciplines.
This three‑part identity allows us to move fluidly between formats, genres, and creative environments, shaping each project with precision, curiosity, and artistic integrity.

About Opus Chamber Philharmonic
Opus Chamber Philharmonic is an international artistic platform working both as a flexible orchestra and as an independent opera company under the name OPERA OPUS. Our work spans symphonic repertoire, chamber music, opera productions, and cross‑disciplinary collaborations.
We collaborate with musicians, singers, directors, composers, and cultural institutions across Europe. This broad artistic network allows us to create productions that range from intimate chamber settings to large‑scale symphonic and scenic projects.
Our identity is defined by flexibility, artistic ambition, and a modern approach to classical performance. Each project is shaped by a balance of precision and creativity, reflecting our belief that music is a living form of expression that connects people across cultures.
As an international cultural partner, we engage in co‑productions, touring projects, and artistic exchanges that strengthen dialogue between artistic environments and broaden the reach of classical music today.
OPERA OPUS
OPERA OPUS is the operatic branch of Opus Chamber Philharmonic.
As an independent opera company, we create productions ranging from intimate chamber opera to larger scenic projects, often in collaboration with international singers, directors, and cultural institutions.
Our operatic work reflects the same values that define the ensemble as a whole: artistic excellence, flexibility, and a modern approach to classical performance. Through OPERA OPUS, we explore new ways of presenting opera — from traditional stagings to innovative, cross‑disciplinary formats.
