Founded in 2002 the Operela Stipend Fund of the Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana is aimed at supporting young talented instrumentalists, dancers, and singers, as well as all other areas of opera production. The stipend's founders and donors are the Association of Ballet Artists of Slovenia, the Association of Slovene Orchestra Artists, and Jeunesses Musicales International (JMI), Slovenia. The stipend is granted for musicians who will be cooperating in the upcoming opera repertoire.

Origin of the name Operela

Operela is the protagonist in a children's tale created by Slovene writer Desa Muck. In the book A Miracle in the Opera House, the mouse Operela helps with the details in the staging of an opera without ever being noticed. The story aims at igniting interest and bringing understanding about the world of the opera to children.
