San Diego Opera

San Diego Opera has been bringing world-class opera to Southern California since its founding in 1965, performing at the San Diego Civic Theatre in the heart of the city's downtown arts district. The company nearly closed in 2014 but was saved by an extraordinary outpouring of community support, emerging reinvigorated with a more innovative programming model. San Diego Opera now presents a season that mixes main-stage grand opera with intimate and outdoor performances, serving one of America's most dynamic border communities.
