Reykjavik Opera Days is a fresh and growing festival that has gained considerable attention since it was held for the first time in 2016 as Kopavogur Opera Days. Moving to Reykjavik in 2018, it won the Music Festival of the Year award at the Icelandic Music Awards in the following year.

Founded by passionate young singers that were frustrated at the lack of an exciting grass root classical vocal/opera/music theatre scene in Iceland. From the beginning, they aimed to create a festival where there would be room for experiments, international collaboration, events for all age groups in unusual and usual places and spaces as well as a strong community focus. This is still the goal as well as creating new job opportunities for singers and their collaborators and facilitating expansion of their network by offering symposiums, workshops, masterclasses and other events connected to the genre and profession. 

Today, the festival has become a well known event in Icelandic cultural life and is gradually gaining more attention abroad. We encourage everyone interested in our work to reach out to us and get in touch.

See you at Reykjavik Opera Days!

Reykjavík Opera Days

Guja Sandholt

The deprivation of liberty, gender roles, love and cruelty are the main themes of Reykjavík Opera Days' production of Fidelio - an experiment, based on the only opera Ludwig van Beethoven wrote. The artists behind Reykjavík Opera Days have worked closely together in order to tackle this monumental piece with passion, experience and playfulness, using Daniel Schlosberg's arrangement for a small orchestra.

Leonore is looking for her husband, Florestan, that Don Pizarro, a horrible brute, has held captive for a long time. She disguises herself as a man, Fidelio, and befriends Don Pizarro's assistant, Rocco. Marzelline, Rocco's daughter, falls in love with Fidelio while Jaquino, a guy who's in love with her, does everything he can to get her attention. Meanwhile, Florestan is waiting to meet his fate.
