FEDORA's Activities
Encouraging together the next generation of international philanthropists to celebrate and support emerging talent, artistic creativity and collaboration
After achieving great success in Berlin and New York, the "Opera Dinners" concept, initiated by Felix Elkmann, that goes beyond a typical social event, finally arrived in Paris in collaboration with FEDORA. These evening events offer a unique opportunity for emerging musicians and opera singers to connect with potential donors in a more relaxed context, removed from the formality of an opera house context.
This winning concept quickly gained popularity over the past decade, where guests enjoy a memorable evening while young talent receive the exposure they need to build visibility and gain recognition within the industry and among future audiences. The event perfectly blends the excellence of opera with a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, all in venues that are well worth discovering.
“This Opera Dinner was organised on the occasion of the announcement of the FEDORA Prizes Biennale 2025 Nominees. We were delighted to team up with the Opera Dinners’ team to co-host a Masked Ball evening reception together on the Champs-Élysées this year. We welcomed our community of European philanthropists, representatives of cultural organisations, artists and international guests from all over the world. We believe in the power of coming together to inspire the next generation of opera lovers to discover and support cutting-edge projects by emerging artists.” - Edilia Gänz, Director of FEDORA.
“We share the values of collaboration, community, and innovation with FEDORA and are therefore happy to collaborate with the FEDORA Team over the upcoming years in different cities, while underscoring our commitment to promoting creativity and innovation, especially by encouraging the next generation of donors to discover and engage with the arts of opera and dance.” - Felix Elkmann, Founder of Opera Dinners.
