Opera is For Everyone

Whether you are new to opera or a seasoned aficionado, Sarasota Opera is the ideal place to experience world class performances. 

The Sarasota Opera House is an intimate venue on the scale of European opera houses with less than 1,200 seats. The acoustics in the theater are superb and there is not a bad seat in the house. It's small scale means that our audience is closer and more a part of the action than in a larger opera house.

Sarasota Opera's repertoire has something for everyone. Each season there is an interesting mix of the familiar and the less well known. The Masterworks Revival Series and the Verdi Cycle ensure that long-time opera lovers will find something interesting for their operatic taste. At the same time the critics have praised our productions of the standard repertoire which are perfect for the novice to whet their palette. Everyone performance has simultaneous English translations above the stage. For the rarer operas we offer pre-performance lectures at selected performances.
