ABOUT

Orange County Opera was founded in 1976 through the support of Las Campanas and the Orange County Department of Education with the expressed purpose of exposing the beautiful art form of opera to the school children of Southern California.



It is our desire that the children we educate today will become the opera audience and financial supporters of the arts for the future.

It is also the intent of Orange County Opera to be an opportunity for young professional singers to develop and hone their craft in a fun and rewarding environment.

Many of our alumni have gone on to have major international careers in opera, singing on the stages of the world's greatest opera houses.
