Throughout my life, opera has been one of my great passions. In my previous life as the founder and CEO of a company in a completely different industry, I was also an active supporter of the Polish arts, with a particular passion for opera.<br><br>Among the many cultural projects I initiated and sponsored were a series of \u201copera pop-ups\u201d at Hala Koszyki in Warsaw, where, for several years, we brought live opera out of the traditional theatre and into a vibrant, everyday setting.<br><br>It was through these performances that I developed a close relationship with a remarkable group of singers. Over time, an idea emerged: why not create our own intimate opera ensemble and bring the experience of opera directly to people, wherever they are?<br><br>And so Symforia was born.\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-column-55-263 bde-column\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-55-264 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/symforia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-11-at-12.20.31.webp\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symforia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-11-at-12.20.31.webp 300w, https:\/\/symforia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-11-at-12.20.31-169x300.webp 169w, https:\/\/symforia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-11-at-12.20.31-7x12.webp 7w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section><section class=\"bde-section-55-125 bde-section\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-container\"><div class=\"bde-simple-testimonial-55-234 bde-simple-testimonial\">\n\n\n\n    \n        \n    <div class='simple-testimonial__image-outer-wrapper simple-testimonial__standard-image'>\n                    <div class='simple-testimonial__image-inner-wrapper'>\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"breakdance-image-object\" src=\"https:\/\/symforia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-09-at-17.15.02.webp\" width=\"300\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symforia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-09-at-17.15.02.webp 300w, https:\/\/symforia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-09-at-17.15.02-12x12.webp 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class='simple-testimonial__quote'>\n        <blockquote >\n            We have organized many galas, but none of them caused such an impact.
