Opera Rara: Website, IT Systems & Video

Client: Opera Rara

Expertise:

Knight Classical works with Opera Rara as a long-term digital partner, delivering website development, IT systems support, and video production services.

Website design

Knight Classical designed and built the Opera Rara website, creating a structured and navigable platform for its catalogue, artists, and recording projects. Particular emphasis was placed on clarity of presentation, integration with streaming platforms, and long-term discoverability of archival material alongside new releases. The site was developed to support direct audience engagement, whilst reflecting the label’s specialist repertoire and institutional standing.

IT systems management

Alongside the website build, Knight Classical provides ongoing IT systems management on a retained basis, supporting internal infrastructure and ensuring operational stability. This role encompasses technical oversight, troubleshooting, and coordination across systems, enabling the organisation to maintain continuity and security in its day-to-day operations.

Video production

In addition, Knight Classical undertakes filming projects for Opera Rara, producing video content to support recording releases, institutional storytelling, and digital engagement. This includes live performance capture, and a documentary series about the discovery of an unknown opera by Mercadante.
