Opera Aperta will take place in the 2nd – 4th September period, and it therefore includes, the next two lyrical events, presented on the open-air stage in Piața Unirii Square, with free acces:

2. Tuesday, September 4th, 2018, 8 p.m. – Turandot by Giacomo Puccini

 

The two emblematic works that the Romanian National Opera in Cluj-Napoca wants to share to the Cluj public are the direct expression of the Opera Aperta basic principle: to open our curtain to the entire Cluj people, to become an opera for everyone.

Furthermore, the excellency in art and culture is the Romanian National Opera in Cluj-Napoca’s first desideratum, and its distinguished vision comes to complete the aims of our partners.
