MISSION: To produce world-class opera, true to the vision of the composer, to entertain, enrich, and educate communities in Southwest Florida as well as patrons from across the state and around the world.

Cause: Arts & Culture

We believe opera is a powerful tool to build a culturally vibrant community. Coming together to experience the nexus of all the fine arts, led by the amazing talent of the unamplified human voice, is a way to strengthen bonds worn down by a myriad of stressors in day-to-day life.

In addition, Sarasota Opera is dedicated to music education and the development of emerging artists. The Sarasota Youth Opera fills a great need of providing music education to youth aged 8 to 18, while our Apprentice and Studio Artist programs provide practical training to artists just beginning their careers.

It is our hope each season that through these performances and programs, the joy of music and the exhibition of world-class talent bring members of our community closer together.
