Operatics: all about opera

Hosted and based in the Netherlands, this platform was founded in 2016 by Laura Roling, a young Amsterdam-based performing arts journalist who specialises in opera. Mainly writing for Dutch-language media about such an international art form as opera, she felt the desire to cater to a wider audience. Armed with a degree in English, as well as a strong European network of young opera lovers for on-site coverage, Laura decided to launch the English-language opera platform Operatics.
