Art should inspire without costing the Earth.
The Phnom Penh Opera Festival 2025 is committed to environmental responsibility through measurable conservation actions.
Is a night of Opera really going to help the environment?
Your participation does more than bring opera to Phnom Penh; it safeguards the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary. This 3,000-square-kilometer reserve is the ancestral home of the Bunong indigenous people and shelters the world’s largest population of the Black-shanked Douc Langur. The carbon offsets generated by the festival directly fund anti-poaching patrols and secure indigenous land titles, ensuring that Cambodia's natural heritage sings as loudly as its cultural one.
