The Atlanta Opera

Founded in 1979, The Atlanta Opera is one of the finest regional opera companies in the United States producing mainstage opera productions and excellent arts education programs for all ages. It directly serves almost 100,000 people annually in Metropolitan Atlanta and throughout the Southeast.  The Atlanta Opera strives to expand the experience of its patrons with memorable and exciting performances reflecting the highest musical and theatrical standards, while supporting community and educational programs. The Opera also works to attract the opera artists in the region, nation, and world. In 2007, The Atlanta Opera moved into its new performance home at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. Since its move to this acoustically exceptional theatre, the Opera’s audience has grown over 50%.  The Opera aims to keep costs low, for everyone to be able to enjoy their art. Educational programs are often free of charge, allowing the opportunity for anyone who desires to learn more about opera to do so.
