Opera For El Paso
To bring professional opera productions that are understandable, accessible, and enjoyable to all the residents of El Paso, Texas and the surrounding communities; and to sponsor educational programs that will introduce both youth and adult populations to the world of great vocal music.
Looking Forward
To position ourselves as a valuable member of El Paso’s Arts Community by continuing to provide a product unlike any other in our region Through a combination of tradition and innovation El Paso Opera will continue to reach new audiences and prove itself and this art as relevant.
Organization History
El Paso Opera began in 1992 as Opera a la Carte offering excerpts of classical opera. After overwhelming support indicated a desire for fully-staged, complete operatic productions, the organization expanded into a full company in 1994. By 2000, El Paso Opera had more than 1000 season subscriptions! El Paso Opera is proud to be known as the first opera company in the United States to display dual supertitle translations in both English and Spanish. We have continued to give the region high-quality art and entertainment despite financial difficulty and a trying economy.
