Mobile Opera mourns the loss of one of its longest and most ardent supporters. Jane Williamson touched the lives of many young people with her years of educational programming and supported Mobile Opera for many decades as director, patron, and arts advocate. She made an enormous difference and will leave an enormous void. We express our deepest condolences to her family and many friends.

From the glittering gaiety of Strauss’ Vienna to the mysterious moods of Mozart’s enchanted forest, we have enjoyed spectacular performances this season! The singing, playing, acting, costumes (oh, the costumes!), staging, and every aspect of each production was first-rate and the response was sold-out audiences that stood and cheered! "Die Fledermaus", "Mozart & Salieri", and "The Magic Flute" were all superb and the triumphs are just beginning. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful season!

We hope you enjoy these photos from our most recent production of "The Magic Flute." Also, get ready for the new season to be announced soon!

Hear it, see it, feel it – the experience is more than music at Mobile Opera!
