Kind Of Opera - Innovative Opera and Classical Music Experiences

Kind Of Opera is a project-based opera company and artistic laboratory based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Led by artistic director Trine Heide and opera director Selma Mongelard, the organization is dedicated to creating 'future classics' by redefining the boundaries of opera and classical music. Kind Of Opera focuses on artistic quality, relevance, and presence, producing staged concerts and innovative opera formats that resonate with modern audiences. Their portfolio includes cross-disciplinary projects such as 'elegier over jorden,' a performance concert premiered at Glyptoteket, as well as productions like 'Transparence' and 'Raphaëlis.' The company emphasizes international collaboration, frequently working with contemporary composers to introduce new works to Danish audiences while fostering sustainable practices within the industry. By shifting focus from traditional grand heroics toward intimate human narratives and contemporary themes, Kind Of Opera seeks to establish classical genres as a living part of the present. The organization is supported by a strategic board of cultural experts from institutions like the Royal Theatre and Designmuseum Denmark, ensuring a high standard of cultural mediation and development.
