The mission of Pensacola Opera is to enrich the culture of Northwest Florida by producing professional opera performances, educational programs and other opera-related community events for people of all ages, interests and backgrounds.
To be the premier arts organization in Northwest Florida, and to be the premier opera company of the Southeast.
In 1983...
A small group of people interested in opera, including singers, parents of singers, singing teachers, professionals and business people, decided that Pensacola could mine our rich local talent to produce quality opera. They created a grassroots opera company called “Pensacola Chamber Opera.” The fledgling Chamber Opera successfully produced Mozart’s Così fan tutte, in English.
In the 2000s
Pensacola Opera developed into a more professional organization, growing the number and qualifications of paid staff as well as the quality and range of its artistic and educational programs. The Opera began its Artists in Residence program in 2004, bringing young professionals in for residency to tour across Northwest Florida with its education programs. That same year, Pensacola Opera was among the “fastest-growing companies in the United States,” as recognized by Opera America.
In 2008
Pensacola Opera’s 25th Anniversary Season saw its move to new venues, producing at the University of West Florida in Pensacola and, for the first time, at Okaloosa Walton College in Niceville, Florida. In the same year, the company completed an expansion to the Opera Center adding 1,100 square feet of office and conference space. In May 2009, during the 26th Season, Pensacola Opera returned to the newly renovated Saenger Theatre with the landmark production of Aida to sell-out crowds. The 27th Season marked the production and regional tour of its first original commissioned opera, The Widow’s Lantern and in the 28th Season, Pensacola Opera produced Little Women by Mark Adamo, marking its first contemporary America opera on the mainstage.
