Nashville Opera Association

Comment on Facebook

Nashville Opera is a community-based, locally-funded non-profit organization dedicated to producing the highest quality performances and programs. In addition to the major operatic works which are offered each year, we partner with community schools, civic groups and activity centers to share the beauty of this unique art form with as many people as possible, building appreciation and understanding. Nashville Opera Association has been recognized as representing the standard for excellence among all arts organizations in Tennessee. Its main stage performances at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center play to over 17,000 people annually. The Opera's extensive education and outreach touring program will reach an additional 30,000 students in 18 counties in Middle Tennessee. Each season the Opera also partners with civic organizations to present free public performances at area libraries, retirement communities, colleges as well as numerous other locations throughout Middle Tennessee.
