The Opera Forward Festival (OFF) is an annual festival for new contemporary opera productions. The festival explores the future of opera and presents opera as a relevant and forward-thinking artform to a wide audience.
The 2025 edition reflects on the past while looking ahead: how did we get here, and where do we go next? In an era of polarization, crisis, and conflict, a way forward is sought. What aim, what future, what peace?
Ammodo has supported the Opera Forward Festival since 2018, with funding committed until 2027.
