Summer Opera Program- Postponed to July 2021

Due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, the management of the International Summer Opera Program in Tel Aviv, in collaboration with its local partners, have concluded that given the international level of the outbreak, travel restrictions and local prohibitions, the circumstances for hosting this event have made it impossible to execute the Program as planned.

We have therefore regretfully decided that the 2020 Summer Opera Program can not take place. 

The Program has been postponed to July 2021 and we plan to conduct the same line up of operas that were scheduled for this year.

​

Further details and final dates for next year’s Program will be published at a later time.

​

We wish you all safety and good health and very much hope to see you next summer in Tel Aviv.
