American Opera Theater_news



American Opera Theater is a constantly changing and evolving company of artists who strive to present fresh, new and innovative productions.

We nurture our community of artists with our outreach program “Les Enfants Terribles” and pride ourselves in developing young arising talent.

The work we produce has been described as “atmospheric,” “vivid and beautiful,” “genius,” “bold,” and “the future of opera!” The productions we create have been presented to sold out audiences around the nation starring an array of respected international vocalists and instrumentalists.

Keep up to date with our endeavours here in our “news” section, or you can join our mailing list for updates:
