Tacoma Opera

About Me

We produce cool operas - both classic and unusual - in beautiful old theatres in Tacoma. We'd love you to see one.
Up Next:
Le Comte Ory

By Gioacchino Rossini
November 7 and 9, 2008
Rialto Theater
When the castle's protectors are away, licentious counts will play...
The music of Rossini shines bright in this comical farce. The libidinous Count Ory disguises himself and his men as nuns in order to seduce the virtuous Countess Adele, while her brother is away on the Crusades.
Faust
By Charles Gounod
March 6, 7 and 8, 2009
Panatges Theater
For what would you sell your soul?
This is opera in its darkest and richest form. In the most thrilling and tragic of all grand operas, the aging philosopher Faust deals with the devil to obtain youth, and the love of the beautiful Marguerite.
Young Artist Showcase
January 31 and February 1, 2009
Theater on the Square
Join us for our annual young artist showcase, featuring local young singers in an intimate evening of one-act operas.
Subscription renewals will be mailed in May.
New subscriptions go on sale in July.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You. Or anyone you know who likes opera. Or anyone who once saw What's Opera, Doc? and wants to see the real thing.
