Opera Wilmington: Bringing the Magic of Opera to the Heart of North Carolina

Opera Wilmington is a non-profit organization that has been bringing fully staged operas and concerts to a diverse audience in the Wilmington, NC area since 2012. With a mission to make opera accessible and enjoyable for everyone, Opera Wilmington has become an integral part of the cultural landscape in this vibrant coastal city.

At Opera Wilmington, we believe that opera is not just for the elite or those with a certain level of education. We believe that everyone should have access to this beautiful art form, regardless of their background or experience. That's why we work hard to create productions that are engaging, entertaining, and accessible for all.

Our productions feature world-class singers and musicians who bring their talent and passion to every performance. From classic operas like Carmen and La Traviata to contemporary works like Dead Man Walking and The Consul, our repertoire spans centuries and genres.

But it's not just about the music at Opera Wilmington - it's also about creating an immersive experience for our audiences. Our productions are fully staged with elaborate sets, costumes, lighting design, and choreography. We want our audiences to feel like they're part of the story unfolding on stage.

One thing that sets us apart from other opera companies is our commitment to diversity. We believe that opera should reflect the world we live in today - a world where people from all backgrounds come together to create something beautiful. That's why we cast performers from diverse ethnicities and backgrounds in our productions.

In addition to producing operas throughout the year, Opera Wilmington also offers educational programs for students of all ages. Our outreach programs include workshops on singing technique, acting skills for performers interested in musical theater or opera roles as well as masterclasses led by professional singers who share their expertise with aspiring artists.

We are proud members of OPERA America – The National Service Organization For Opera which provides us with resources and support to continue our mission of bringing opera to the community.

At Opera Wilmington, we are passionate about what we do. We believe that opera has the power to inspire, educate, and entertain people from all walks of life. Whether you're a seasoned opera-goer or someone who's never seen an opera before, we invite you to join us for one of our productions and experience the magic for yourself.
