Ensemble Opera Diversa je soubor profesionálních hudebníků a zpěváků, kteří tvoří a provádějí živou hudební a vokální tvorbu. Vedle klasické tvorby je jádrem činnosti původní komorní hudba a opery z dílny Ondřeje Kyase a Pavla Drábka. Od počátků (1999) se ze souboru vyvinula hudební společnost, která uskutečňuje kolem čtyřiceti vystoupení a představení ročně. Na svém kontě má tři celovečerní opery, dvě desítky původních minioper, desítku původních orchestrálních skladeb a velké množství klasického repertoáru. Ensemble tvoří soubor zpěváků, komorní orchestr (pod vedením koncertního mistra Jana Bělohlávka), který je vyhledávaným interpretem klasické i nové hudby, a komorní sbor Ensemble Versus (pod vedením Vladimíra Maňase).

Ensemble Opera Diversa is company of professional musicians and singers, who create and engage in live instrumental and vocal music. Apart from classical music, the core of our activity are the chamber music and operas by Ondřej Kyas and Pavel Drábek. Since the beginnings in 1999 we have developed into a music society that realises around 40 performances a year. We have premiered three full-length operas, around twenty other original shorter minioperas, a dozen new orchestral compositions and a wide range of the classical repertoire. The Diversa comprises of an opera ensemble, a chamber orchestra (led by the principal violinist Jan Bělohlávek), which is a much-desired performer of classical and new music, and the chamber choir Ensemble Versus (led by Vladimír Maňas).
