Virginia Opera

Virginia Opera is the official opera company of the Commonwealth of Virginia, bringing fully staged professional productions to audiences across the state. The company performs in Norfolk, Richmond, and Fairfax, making it one of the few American opera companies with a genuinely statewide mission. Its seasons balance beloved standards from the Italian and German repertoire with American works and occasional contemporary premieres. Virginia Opera's touring model ensures that high-caliber operatic performance reaches communities that might otherwise have no access to the art form.
