History
Renée Auphan in 1988

Forum Opéra is based on Swiss law according to articles 60 et seq. of Swiss Civil Code of 10 December 1907.[1][2]

Created on 17 August 1987,[3] it is chaired by its founder, Georges Reymond, a Swiss lawyer. It is sponsored by Franco-Swiss mezzo-soprano Renée Auphan,[note 1] and by Swiss tenor Éric Tappy.[4]

Among additional goals,[5] the organization aims to support and promote opera in Romandie and, above all, in Lausanne.[4]

Notes
  1. Renée Auphan was the former director of Théâtre municipal de Lausanne before taking over as director of Grand Théâtre de Genève.
