SUMMARY:PREMIERE: ONE BORN FROM A TEAR
DESCRIPTION:OPERA APERTA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2026 \nThe Romanian National Opera Cluj-Napoca & The Ambassador Children’s Musical Theatre invite you to discover a captivating reinterpretation of the classic fairy tale One born from a tear (Făt Frumos din Lacrimă) by Mihai Eminescu\, reimagined in the dynamic rhythms of rock opera. \nOne born from a tear is Romania’s first modern rock opera\, composed by Dan Spînu\, with a libretto adapted by Ramona Cojocaru and Sabina Ciocîrlie after Eminescu’s original tale. Since its premiere in 2014\, the work has stood out through its remarkable stylistic fusion—rarely encountered in the Romanian musical landscape—between pop-rock energy and the expressive language of Romantic and Impressionist opera. \nFor the first time in a decade of successful performances—previously presented with an English libretto— One born from a tear will now be performed in Romanian\, on the stage of the Romanian National Opera Cluj-Napoca\, as part of the International Opera Aperta Festival. \nAudiences will discover a story shaped by complex characters\, moving beyond the familiar stereotypes of fairy tales (the flawless hero\, the passive\, waiting heroine)\, unfolding instead like a modern historical film\, enriched with subtle touches of humor. Alongside the symphonic orchestra and mixed choir\, the performance brings together a rock band and a cast of nine soloists performing in a pop/rock style. The composer envisioned a musical language that balances the sophistication of the operatic stage with the accessibility of pop-rock genres\, through memorable melodic lines while maintaining a high level of vocal performance. \nRecommended age: 7+

SUMMARY:GALLERY OF VOICES
DESCRIPTION:OPERA APERTA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2026 \nOn Thursday\, 25 June\, at 6:30 PM\, the Romanian National Opera in Cluj-Napoca launches GALLERY OF VOICES\, a new series of chamber recitals\, at the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania\, in Reduta Hall. The first event of this series is included in the programme of the International Opera Aperta Festival 2026. \nThe recital brings before the audience soprano Carmen Gurban and tenor Hector Lopez\, accompanied at the piano by Lelia Serafinceanu. The programme will include a selection of works from the lyrical repertoire\, presented in a chamber format that emphasises the closeness between artists\, music\, and audience. \nThrough this series\, the Romanian National Opera in Cluj-Napoca proposes a new setting for the encounter with the lyrical repertoire outside the traditional opera house. Reduta Hall\, a space of significant historical and cultural importance\, thus becomes the venue for recitals centred on the voice\, direct musical expression\, and the dialogue between heritage and contemporary artistic practice. \nGALLERY OF VOICES opens a new direction of collaboration between the Romanian National Opera in Cluj-Napoca and the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania\, through a programme that will continue\, in the coming period\, with several recitals dedicated to the vocal repertoire. \nThe event has no interval and is expected to end around 7:45 PM. \nRecommended age: 7+ \nTickets are available on the bilete.ro platform. \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. \n

SUMMARY:Jesus Christ Superstar
DESCRIPTION:OPERA APERTA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2026 \nOn Thursday\, 25 June\, at 8:30 PM\, the International Opera Aperta Festival 2026 presents Jesus Christ Superstar\, the rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber\, with lyrics by Tim Rice\, on the Main Stage in Unirii Square. \nConceived as a fully sung-through work\, Jesus Christ Superstar is inspired by the biblical accounts of the Passion\, presented through a modern stage interpretation. The story follows the final days of Jesus\, focusing on the tensions between the characters and\, in particular\, on the perspective of Judas\, portrayed as a complex figure caught in an inner conflict over the direction taken by Jesus’ mission. \nThrough its rock musical language and lyrics that include contemporary references\, Jesus Christ Superstar brings the biblical narrative into an expressive framework different from that of classical musical theatre. The work deliberately uses anachronisms\, stylistic contrasts\, and references to modern sensibilities\, allowing for a direct stage approach to themes such as faith\, power\, and responsibility. \nAdmission is free. \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.
