Est. year: 1989
Opera Loudspeakers is a speaker workshop from Dosson di Casier in the province of Treviso, building passive hi-fi speakers since 1989. The brand grew out of Giovanni Nasta's love of music, and its identity rests on traditional cabinet work in fine woods and leather combined with easy-to-drive designs. Production is small in scale and handled in its own Treviso workshop, with a lineup split into an entry-level Classica range and the more exclusive Callas family.
Range & what it's known for
The Classica line covers the Mezza and Prima bookshelf models, the Grand Mezza and Quinta floorstanders and an SP1 steel stand, all using a 26 mm soft dome tweeter with anodised aluminium cone woofers in cement grey or rosewood. Above it sits the Callas line, relaunched in 2014 after a long development period, with the Callas bookshelf model and the Callas Diva and Grand Callas floorstanders. Both floorstanding Callas models are three-way designs with a rear-firing dipole radiation system, a Scan-Speak 9700 tweeter without ferrofluid and lacquered walnut or mahogany cabinets. A Callas Edizione Speciale series repeats all three models in padouk.
Who owns it and where it's made
The brand belongs to U.K. Distribution SRL, a company registered at the same Dosson di Casier address. Every loudspeaker is built in the Treviso workshop, where the Nasta family has passed down its craft over generations, and woods and leathers are sourced from local craftsmen. Products carry a Made in Italy label, and design and assembly stay under one roof.
The lineup in this catalog
Opera Loudspeakers appears here in the components category. The catalog data gives no model count or price range for this entry, so the official Classica and Callas pages are the reference for current models.
Who it's for
Opera is for listeners who prefer a traditionally built Italian speaker with furniture-grade finishes. The Mezza on its SP1 stand is the natural first step, Prima and the Grand Mezza move up in size, and Quinta tops the Classica range. Buyers with more space and money can then step into the Callas bookshelf model, Callas Diva or Grand Callas, the last needing at least 20 cm from the rear wall. Recommended amplification starts from 10 W for the Callas models, so modest valve amplifiers are an option.
