SPONSORS & PARTNERS

 

The dream I had when I founded Cappella Mediterranea nearly twenty years ago is now taking shape. Our opera projects and international concert tours are multiplying. The audiences that accompany us are growing and rewarding us for daring to present programmes that are pure “science fiction”, as we interpret yesterday’s music in service of today’s emotions. To keep up this momentum, we need you. Thanks to your entrepreneurial spirit and your willingness to explore uncharted territory, our approach resonates with you. It is one that is as ambitious as it is innovative, as we constantly strive for excellence, all while appealing to all kinds of audiences and working for the common good. We do not only want to build a support system. We want to build a network of partners.
