What Opus One does

Opus One SA is a privately held Swiss event promotion and concert production company headquartered in Nyon, Switzerland, founded in 1993. The company curates and produces a diversified live-entertainment program covering concerts (pop, rock, electronic, reggae, chanson, folk, hip-hop), theatrical spectacles (including STOMP, Mummenschanz, Brel! Le spectacle), stand-up comedy and one-person shows, family programming, art exhibitions, and festival co-productions (Montreux Jazz Festival, Paléo Festival Nyon, Estivale Open Air, Venoge Festival) across French-speaking Switzerland.

The core product is the curated event calendar itself, not a software platform; add-on services include group booking for parties of 11 or more, accessibility accommodations (PMR/PSH), and VIP booking. Opus One does not operate proprietary ticketing technology — ticket distribution is routed through third-party platforms, with Ticketcorner as the primary partner and Ticketmaster, Secutix, Infomaniak Events, and Eventim used for specific events. Standard ticket pricing ranges from approximately 10 CHF to 82 CHF, with premium events reaching 115+ CHF and some festival shows free. Group orders of 11+ receive discounts, and accessibility orders carry a 5 CHF processing fee.

The company earns revenue on a transaction basis tied to ticket sales and production margins; it does not disclose revenue figures. It serves individual consumers and families seeking live entertainment in French-speaking Switzerland, and works as a supply-side partner to regional venues and festivals. Marketing reach is achieved through owned social channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn), a Delight-powered newsletter, and earned media via a dedicated press contact. No AI/ML capability, proprietary software product, app, funding rounds, acquisitions, or executive team disclosures are present in the source data.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• AEG Presents: Global live entertainment promoter and venue operator with European operations. Competes for the same touring artists and venues as Opus One at much larger scale, providing a relevant incumbent benchmark for promoter business models.
• Live Nation Switzerland: Swiss operations of Live Nation Entertainment, the world's largest live entertainment company. Competes for the same artist bookings and venue relationships in Switzerland, but operates at global scale with significantly larger capital, artist roster, and marketing resources than Opus One.
• CTS Eventim: Europe's leading ticketing and live entertainment company, providing ticketing services (including through Ticketcorner, Opus One's primary partner) and promoting events across the continent. Comparable as a dominant European platform in the same ticketing/promotion space.

Emerging players

• Kilimanjaro Live: UK-based independent concert and festival promoter with a growing portfolio across the UK and Europe. Comparable as a mid-sized independent promoter focusing on artist curation and festival partnerships, though at a different stage of scale.

Regional players

• FKP Scorpio: German concert and festival promoter operating across Northern Europe. Comparable as a mid-sized European concert promoter with a diversified festival and touring portfolio, though it serves the German-speaking market rather than French-speaking Switzerland.
• MCD Productions: Ireland's largest concert and event promoter, running major concerts and festivals. Comparable as a regional promoter with a similar content mix (concerts, comedy, family events) and similar artist-curation-led model, though operating in a different geography.

Others

• Paléo Festival Nyon: Major Swiss music festival based in Nyon (same city as Opus One headquarters) that Opus One partners with for artist programming. Relevant as both a key customer/partner and as a comparable event production organization with overlapping content strategy.
• Ticketcorner: Leading Swiss ticketing platform and Opus One's primary distribution partner (owned by CTS Eventim). Relevant ecosystem participant as the dominant ticketing infrastructure Opus One depends on, though it operates as a platform rather than a competing promoter.

Direct peers

• Good News AG: Swiss concert and event promoter based in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Operates as a regional event promoter with similar artist booking, venue partnerships, and ticketing distribution model, making it the closest geographic and functional peer to Opus One.
• Baloise Session: Swiss concert promoter and event producer based in Basel that runs an annual concert series featuring major international artists. Directly comparable as a Swiss regional promoter with similar artist curation, ticketing partnerships, and venue-based event production.
