Baltic Opera Festival

Based in Tricity on the Polish Baltic Sea coast, the Baltic Opera Festival was founded at the initiative of the prominent Polish bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny. The Festival draws on the town’s pre-war opera festival traditions which earned Sopot the name of the Bayreuth of the North in the 1930s. 

The first edition of the Baltic Opera Festival will take place in July 2023, and is organised by the Baltic Opera Gdańsk in association of with the National Centre for Culture Poland and the Dal Segno Institute, Kraków. 

The 2023 Baltic Opera Festival gives a start to a recurring opera celebration geared towards European music lovers and the wider public. The artistic programme draws on the German repertoire and Polish operatic works. Apart from the main events, the Baltic Opera Festival includes a range of additional attractions, such as opportunities to meet the featured stars and participate in masterclasses.
