Tulsa Opera, which began in 1948, is the 18th oldest opera company in North America and is ranked among the top ten regional opera companies in the United States. Under the artistic leadership of Carol I. Crawford, the Company presents three grand opera productions each season, with a commitment toward American and 20th Century repertoire. Mainstage productions are held at Tulsa Performing Arts Center. The Tulsa Youth Opera, inaugurated in 1997, is part of the Tulsa Opera’s extensive educational outreach program.
Performances and education programs are provided to the greater Tulsa area, with additional education and outreach programs provided for both adults and children statewide. Tulsa Opera draws its audiences from a five state region that includes Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Texas.
Tulsa Opera is fortunate to have almost 700 dedicated volunteers drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds. Its Board of Directors is currently comprised of 55 men and women who represent various businesses and organizations in Oklahoma. They have a passion or appreciation of the arts as well as a dedication to the betterment of Oklahoma. All volunteers work in conjunction with a knowledgeable professional staff to sponsor and coordinate activities ranging from the Tulsa Opera Chorus, education programs that receive assistance from the Guild of Tulsa Opera, and fundraising events that involve Board, Guild, and additional community volunteers.
