The fifth OPERA CROWN, Tbilisi’s international voice competition, is scheduled for 8–13 November 2026 at the Tbilisi Opera House. The theatre’s current competition page lists singers from Georgia and countries including Japan, South Korea, Canada, Italy, Brazil, the United States and several European states. The competition is aimed at early-career opera singers, who perform before opera professionals and artist managers.

Competition dates and tickets

The dates cover the competition itself. The official page does not give a public performance schedule, ticket details or an event-by-event programme. Do not assume every round is open to spectators or that the dates describe a single gala. Check the Opera House’s current listings for any public performances and ticket information before building an evening around the competition.

Getting there

The venue is the Tbilisi Opera House on Rustaveli Avenue, on the central avenue between Freedom Square and Rustaveli metro station. The area also works well as a daytime walk, with museums and cafés nearby. If you are staying outside the centre, allow time for evening traffic and verify the route on the day.
