Are you passionate about opera or classical music?
Do you enjoy writing reviews, artist profiles, or thoughtful commentary on the music that moves you?
Opera Encore is a growing international blog dedicated to keeping the magic of opera and classical performance alive for today’s audiences — and generations to come.
Our tagline says it all: “Where Every Performance Lives Again.”
We launched in August 2024 as a non-profit, community-driven publication. Now, we’re relaunching with a broader team of contributors — and we’re looking for music lovers, students, journalists, and critics from around the world to join us.
We welcome a wide range of opera and classical music content:
Concert & performance reviews – live or streamed
Opera or artist profiles
Rewritten and reinterpreted articles based on public news sources (with credit)
Opinion pieces or commentary on trends in classical music
Columns or themed series (e.g. “Forgotten Arias,” “New Voices,” “Opera Essentials”)
Whether you’re a student attending your first opera or an experienced critic with decades of perspective — your voice matters here.
While Opera Encore is a non-profit hobby project at this stage, we offer meaningful, long-term benefits:
