Opera Music

What Opera Music does

Opera' Music Srl (trading as Opera Music) is a privately held Italian creative music studio founded in 2004 and headquartered in Milan. The company delivers an integrated suite of music and audio services for moving-image content, organized around three core offerings: Music Supervision (artistic direction, composer selection, licensed music research, commercial music licensing, and cue sheet delivery); Scoring and Production (bespoke composition, song production, recording, mixing, and mastering using in-house composers supplemented by an external network); and Audio Post Production (sound design, SFX, foley, ADR, VO casting and recording, and audio editing for cinema, TV, and web).

The studio infrastructure is distributed across three Italian cities with specialized functions: Milan handles recording and audio post-production (Via XX Settembre 24), Turin is the main recording, composition, mixing/mastering, and podcast facility (Via Gen. Eusebio Bava 3), and Rome focuses on music supervision and consultancy (Via Cicerone 49). Technology is conventional professional audio production equipment and dedicated post-production studios; no proprietary software, APIs, or AI/ML systems are disclosed. A fourth business line, a music publishing arm, represents young composers and acts and supplies synchronization opportunities to the broader business.

Opera Music generates revenue through project-based professional services fees for advertising campaigns, brand communications, feature films, TV series, documentaries, and podcasts. The client base spans premium enterprise brands across automotive (Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW, Pirelli), fashion (Prada), FMCG (Barilla, Ferrero, Heineken, Fanta, Lidl), streaming (Netflix, Disney+), banking (Banca Ifis), and publishing/audio (Audible, Feltrinelli Educational). Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: client acquisition relies on portfolio/showreel visibility, industry reputation, direct outreach via the website and [email protected], and industry events such as the 20th anniversary 'SYNC in Piazza Duomo' celebration. The company is founder-led by Partner & CEO Cristiano Joyeusaz and Partner & Head of Production Marco Peretti, is bootstrapped with no external funding disclosed, and operates with a team of approximately 15 named senior professionals.
