Kammeroper Köln

The Cologne Chamber Opera first opened its doors in the 1997/98 season. Sisters Esther and Inga Hilsberg realized their vision of a vibrant and audience-oriented music theatre alongside their careers as soprano and conductor, respectively. From the outset, fostering young artists has been a priority for both of them – it is not uncommon for up-and-coming talents to go on to perform at major opera houses after their engagement at the Chamber Opera.
