Opus 1

OPUS is a pioneering art & music festival that transforms the legendary Merriweather Post Pavilion and surrounding Symphony Woods into a surreal theatre that engages the senses and provokes the mind.

Through OPUS, we curate, commission & collaborate with multidisciplinary artists to create site-responsive works that push boundaries, disrupt conventions, and create spaces of provocation and reflection for the 15,000+ annual attendees.

OPUS explores the ecstatic through a various mediums including performance, dance, sound, video, and large-scale light and projection installations. We collaborate closely with artists throughout the year to help them develop and evolve their projects. OPUS commissions have gone on to renowned institutions including MoMA and Pioneer Works as well as like-minded festivals such as Red Bull Music Academy Festival and FORM Arcosanti.
