Verismo Opera makes opera accessible to the public at reasonable prices through a cooperative effort of professional singers, instrumentalists and artists. Supertitles in English are offered at each venue. Performances include costumes, sets, and chamber orchestra in intimate settings. These settings make the opera experience more personal. In addition, Verismo Opera provides opportunities for aspiring singers to showcase their talent in a live theater setting.
We perform popular operas such as: Carmen, La Boheme, Madame Butterfly, Il Trovatore, La Traviata and Tosca as a contribution to the performing arts. Some of our favorite opera composers include: Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, Donizetti, Wagner and Mozart.
