SUMMARY:THE BARBARIAN NIGHTS
DESCRIPTION:OPERA APERTA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2026 \nThe Barbarian nights or the first dawns of the world \nLes Nuits Barbares ou les premiers matins du monde  \nThe Barbarian Nights (original title: Les Nuits Barbares ou les premiers matins du monde)\, a creation by the renowned choreographer Hervé Koubi\, invites audiences into a powerful visual and emotional choreographic experience—a dance meditation on identity\, freedom\, and the shared roots of the Mediterranean world. Created by Compagnie Hervé Koubi and presented on major international stages\, the performance offers a compelling vision of the beauty that unites beyond borders\, religions\, and origins. \nSet to a musical score that brings together works by Mozart\, Fauré\, Wagner\, and traditional Algerian sounds\, the 14 dancers of the Hervé Koubi Company create a striking stage universe where contemporary dance\, urban movement\, acrobatics\, and an almost ritualistic expressiveness converge. The result is an intense\, poetic\, and electrifying performance composed of memorable stage images\, raw energy\, and hypnotic choreographic beauty. \nInternational critics have praised The Barbarian Nights as a powerful and captivating choreographic experience\, remarkable for its emotional intensity\, exceptional physicality\, and stunning visual imagery. ExploreDance (New York) describes the production as “a work of raw beauty\, violence\, passion\, mystery\, and exceptional dance\,” while The Arts Fuse (Boston) highlights the extraordinary fusion of movement styles and the electrifying impact the performance has on audiences. \nThe Barbarian Nights speaks to what brings us closer together—as spectators and as human beings: humanity\, collective memory\, and the freedom to rediscover ourselves in one another. In Hervé Koubi’s vision\, the word “barbarian” also carries the meaning of “a free person\,” an idea that resonates throughout the entire artistic construction of the performance. \nReserve your ticket and discover a remarkable performance in which dance tells a story about the beauty of our shared world. \nAbout Compagnie Hervé Koubi \nCompagnie Hervé Koubi is one of the leading presences on the international contemporary dance scene\, renowned for its visually striking productions that blend contemporary dance with urban vocabulary\, capoeira\, and martial influences. Founded in 2000 by the Franco-Algerian choreographer Hervé Koubi\, the company develops an artistic universe deeply connected to Mediterranean roots\, intercultural dialogue\, and the physical expressiveness of movement. \nThe performance runs without intermission and ends around 7:30 PM. \nRecommended age: 12+

SUMMARY:TANGO MEETS OPERA
DESCRIPTION:OPERA APERTA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2026 \nOn Wednesday\, 24 June\, at 8:30 PM\, the International Opera Aperta Festival 2026 presents TANGO MEETS OPERA\, a vocal-instrumental concert held in the inner courtyard of Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca. \nThe event proposes an encounter between Argentine tango and the vocal expression associated with the operatic stage\, through a programme that brings together representative works of the genre\, ranging from traditional tango to tango nuevo. The repertoire includes works by Astor Piazzolla\, Carlos Gardel\, Juan D’Arienzo\, Ángel Villoldo\, Gerardo Matos Rodríguez\, Jacob Gade\, and other composers from the history of tango. \nThe soloists of the concert are mezzo-soprano Iulia Merca and tenor Hector Lopez\, artists of the Romanian National Opera in Cluj-Napoca. They will be joined by Cluj Tango Orchestra\, an ensemble made up of professional musicians active in musical institutions in Cluj-Napoca\, including the Romanian National Opera\, the Hungarian Opera\, the “Gheorghe Dima” National Academy of Music\, and the “Sigismund Toduță” Music College. \nCluj Tango Orchestra consists of Sorin Robert Indrei on bandoneon\, Irina Rosana Indrei on piano\, Milena Vădan and Sara Vădan on violin\, Adrian Lup on cello\, and Emanuel Elcean on double bass. This instrumental formula brings to the forefront the specific sonority of Argentine tango\, in which the bandoneon plays a central role. \nThe TANGO MEETS OPERA concept was first presented in Cluj-Napoca in 2025\, on the occasion of International Argentine Tango Day\, in the presence of the Ambassador of the Argentine Republic to Romania. \nThe event is organised in partnership with the Romanian National Opera in Cluj-Napoca\, with the support of the Embassy of the Argentine Republic in Romania and the Republic of Moldova. \nThe event is presented by Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca. \nThe concert has no interval and is expected to end around 10:00 PM. \nTickets are available on the bilete.ro platform. \nRecommended age: 7+ \nThe International Opera Aperta Festival is organised with the support of the Ministry of Culture\, the Cluj-Napoca City Hall\, the Cluj-Napoca Local Council\, the Cluj County Council\, and the “Opera 2 You” Association.
