The company is committed to developing the next generation of American operatic artists, making sure that the Texas Panhandle plays an important role in the future of opera in America – an in developing a style of production committed to the development of regional artistry, representative of regional sensibilities and of the highest international standards that can be produced on a regional budget.

In December 2010, Amarillo Opera’s production of Rigoletto was voted one of the top three fine arts performances of the year by readers of the Amarillo Globe-News. The following January, our redesigned 2010-2011 season brochure and our 2010-2011 season program won ADDY® awards for creative excellence in print – the only Amarillo arts organization to win the Arts, Brochure category.

The company routinely participates in The Santa Fe Opera apprentice artist auditions, where selected company General Directors have an opportunity to hear some of the country’s most promising singers. Young singers annually audition for the company in Amarillo, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Agents regularly submit singers from around the world to sing in Amarillo Opera productions. In December 2011 the company began a series of telecasts with its critically acclaimed production of Giacomo Puccini’s La bohème on Panhandle PBS. That broadcast as well as subsequent productions of Lucia di Lammermoor, Madame Butterfly, The Marriage of Figaro and La Traviata now reside in the permanent online archive at pbs.org where they can be streamed on demand to audiences around the world free of charge.
