Opera Fuoco
David Stern founded the period instrument orchestra Opera Fuoco in 2003. It was after a successful residency at the Royaumont Foundation that the ensemble truly became what it is today, choosing to dedicate itself to the interpretation of operatic repertoire from the beginning of the 18th to the end of the 19th centuries. Opera Fuoco has singled itself out for its orchestra consisting of the foremost specialists in historical performance, and especially for promoting young professional singers.
