West Edge Opera looks at the art form through a new lens: we present early and contemporary works and re-imagine opera tradition to engage and entertain a diverse audience.

​

Now in its 44th season, West Edge Opera has presented 98 complete operas. Repertoire includes new and unusual works as well as favorite and lesser-known works by well-known composers.

 

Formerly known as Berkeley Opera, the company was founded in 1979 by baritone Richard Goodman. As the company grew under General Director Streshinsky and Music Director Khuner, the company was renamed West Edge Opera in 2014. Since then, West Edge Opera has presented world, American, and west coast opera premieres, and commissioned three new operas and several new translations and adaptations of classic works.

  

West Edge is a family. A family of artists, singers, musicians, donors and patrons. When the festival was forced to be cancelled in 2020 due to Covid, our family of donors came through with the funds to help our singers, musicians and stage crew. Everyone who was contracted to work on Festival 2020 received two-thirds of the amount they would have made. They also received an invitation to return in 2021 to perform the planned 2020 season.
