Hope for an equal future

“Since 2023, Den andra operan has been a proud recipient of donations from Signatur Foundation Sweden. The collaboration with Signatur has contributed to Den andra operan’s mission to spread knowledge about historical opera works composed by women. The donation has made it possible to organise a number of concerts and lectures where audiences have been able to encounter opera through both conversation and music. DAO has also deepened the dissemination of knowledge to the next generation of singers and musicians through collaborations with colleges and universities in Sweden and the Nordic countries. Through long-term networking with institutions, we have also been able to support the development of the opera repertoire in general, all thanks to ongoing support from Signatur.

We see a growing curiosity among audiences, a development of the Nordic opera industry and an increased knowledge of a previously hidden part of opera history among performers, which gives hope for an equal future in the world of opera and music”

Bente Rolandsdotter, Artistic Director, Den andra operan
