Virginia Opera

Virginia Opera Where Voice Rules! The Official Opera Company of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Etix is the only authorized third-party. But old thinking holds no sway here.
(335)

Virginia Opera exists to bring compelling and artistically exemplary opera performances to a wide variety of audiences. We strive to nurture this complex art form, the artists who create it, and the audiences who will ensure its future. We may be an opera company
based in the Old Dominion. Here, only one thing matters:
The power of the human voice. To move us. Challenge us. Delight us. And connect

us. Whatever we do,
We do to share that power
With as many people
In as many beautiful,
Soul–stirring ways as possible. This is Virginia Opera. Where Voice Rules.

Before he became a donor, he was a first-time attendee.

Before he became an advocate, he was simply someone willing to give opera a try.

This is the story of how Eric Peterson discovered Virginia Opera and what kept him coming back.

Today is Loving Day! ❤️

June 12 marks the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1967 Loving v. Virginia decision, which struck down state laws banning in*******al marriage.

It's hard to believe that just over a year has passed since the world premiere of Loving v. Virginia. We're proud to have shared this extraordinary story and grateful to everyone who was part of its journey!

Loving v. Virginia is co-commissioned by Virginia Opera and Richmond Symphony

A first opera experience can spark curiosity that lasts a lifetime!

This season, students across Virginia had the opportunity to experience live opera through Student Night and education programs. These opportunities are often the first introduction many young people have to the performing arts. Because of donor support, these experiences remain accessible to students and families throughout our communities.

Thank you for helping inspire the next generation!
