| From the start of Companions Opera in 1992 as an independent opera production company, we had the fortune to encounter and work with established professionals from the theatre and opera industry. We as owners of the company were opera lovers, but 'green as grass' as producers of an opera, let alone an opera in an arena. It were these professionals who put us on our feet and, over the years, continued to stimulate us to go on. | ||
| We are greatly in debt to all who have been involved, individuals and companies alike, in making our productions and we give credit to all of them in the Credits-tile per opera performance. | ||
| Although each and everyone is equally important, here we like to put a special spotlight on some really extra ordinary people who played key roles in so many of our productions. They were indisputable essential to the creation and the success of the unique Companions 360° Opera operas and Companions Opera Family! | ||
