MA Alumna Launches New Website For Opera Festival

Friday 8th December 2023

We are so pleased for MA Voice Pedagogy Alumna Katherine Haataja, who has recently launched Operosa's new website.

In 2006, Katherine founded Operosa, home to the Operosa Montenegro Opera Festival, and earlier this year the festival celebrated its tenth anniversary!

'The purpose of the Festival is to promote young opera talent, reach wider and younger audiences, and showcase Montenegro’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.'

During her MA studies, Katherine's research focused on supporting young opera voices with the correct repertoire to ensure vocal development longevity.

Katherine noted, "It was important for me to understand what exactly goes wrong when young voices are singing too heavy repertoire too early. This aligns strongly with my work at Operosa".

Congratulations to Katherine and all at Operosa Opera Festival!

Katherine is passionate about opera, singing, the performing arts, the performing arts and education, about exploring diversity and discovering ways of bringing people closer to these art forms and cultural heritage...
