Opera Without Borders
Ópera Sin Fronteras is an initiative of ASOCIACIÓN ÓPERA SIN FRONTERAS, a non-profit organization officially registered with Spain’s National Register of Associations under registration number 625613.
Ópera Sin Fronteras (OSF) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) founded with the aim of bringing opera to communities that have traditionally been excluded from it, giving visibility to their realities, experiences, and struggles through lyric theatre.
We see opera as a powerful instrument for social transformation, rather than a form of entertainment reserved for a privileged few.
As an inclusive art form that brings together music, dance, theatre, and the visual arts, opera offers a unique means of placing disadvantaged individuals and communities at the heart of artistic creation, encouraging their participation, self-expression, and capacity to bring about change.
MADAGASIKARA
Nirina’s Dream
THE EXPEDITION ENDS IN RESOUNDING SUCCESS!
Madagascar has witnessed an unprecedented event: “Nirina’s Dream,” the first opera in the Malagasy language in history, has traveled across the Red Island for a month, spreading hope, art, and transformation wherever it went.
OVER 120 PEOPLE
In August 2025, Nirina’s Dream toured four cities on the island over the course of five weeks, in a logistical operation without precedent.
Among the more than 120 participants were 90 artists, a doctor, two cooks, technicians, and volunteers — all embarked on an expedition as ambitious as it was beautiful.
8 Vans, 2000 km, 72 Hours on the Road
From Toliara to Antananarivo, passing through Antsiranana and Fianarantsoa, we transformed 4 venues into true theaters to share 7 unforgettable performances.
More than 8,000 people attended free of charge
Most of them were children experiencing the transformative power of opera for the very first time.
A Dream that Breaks Down Walls, Cries Out for Women’s Freedom, and Fights for the Protection of Our World
A message from young Malagasy artists to their people.
A message that, next year, we will be able to hear in Spain.
