Da Tempesta Productions

DA TEMPESTA PRODUCTIONS

The non-profit organization Da Tempesta Productions was founded by Isabelle Kabatu (soprano) and Stefano Giuliani (stage director), in 2000 and has to its credit the creation of 18 operas, dozen of concerts and as many Master Classes, and lectures, all carried out around the world: Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, but also in Latin America and in Africa. Always with the aim of giving a voice to emerging singers, our objectives are: Create a platform to bring together local energies, whether in regions, municipalities or neighborhoods Develop the skills of those who have already followed us in previous productions. Introduce opera to audiences far from urban centers We wish to maintain free access for the public and implement an educational action by welcoming schools (school mornings if we can cover the expenses of the Artists for additional performances).
