Opera Audio

Founded in 1989 by Giovanni Nasta in Treviso, Italy, Opera Loudspeakers has established itself as a premier Italian manufacturer of handcrafted high-end loudspeakers that combine traditional Italian craftsmanship with advanced acoustic technology. Originally starting with Giovanni's experiments in the early 1970s that led to the development of his first loudspeaker 'La Caruso,' the company was formally established in 1989 in the Treviso province near Venice, an area renowned for its tradition of craftsmanship and manufacturing. Following Giovanni Nasta's passing in 2020, the company is now operated by his sons Bartolomeo and Riccardo Nasta along with their mother Donatella Vigilante, maintaining the family's commitment to creating loudspeakers of the highest quality and musicality. Based at Via Barone 4, 31030 Dosson di Casier (Treviso), Opera Loudspeakers operates alongside sister company Unison Research (acquired by Giovanni in 1989) under the umbrella of A.r.i.a. Srl, with every product assembled by hand on-site using locally sourced components. The company's product portfolio includes the bestselling Classica line featuring the redesigned Classica v2 series with bookshelf and floor-standing speakers plus center channel, and the globally recognized Callas line representing the pinnacle of Opera's production with unique driver configurations and exceptional build quality. Opera Loudspeakers maintains strict quality standards with a 90-day production cycle for 50-speaker runs, including a meticulous 5-stage lacquering and polishing process that takes 3 days to complete, utilizing proprietary-designed Scanspeak drivers and exquisite Italian woodwork. With Bartolomeo serving as Export Manager and Riccardo specializing in electronic component control and sourcing, the company continues to earn international recognition in high-end audio markets and prestigious Hi-Fi magazines while preserving their verifiable 'Made in Italy' heritage and commitment to authentic handcrafted excellence.
