As we plan each season, one of our main goals is to create events that are attractive, entertaining, and meaningful to our diverse audiences while providing high quality, uplifting musical events for people from all walks of life and of all ages. Providing outstanding cultural and educational events for our local citizens, as well as the many visitors to our community, is central to our mission.
It is our hope that we will have an enduring influence on those who attend our events.
When reflecting upon the performances we present for our 78th season, one word kept coming to mind…“influence,” meaning “the capacity to have an effect.” All of our programs this season celebrate people, places, and things that have had a major “effect” on all of our musical lives and culture.
If you are new to Opera Mississippi, we hope that you enjoy the productions we have in store for you this season.
If you are an Opera Mississippi regular, welcome back; we’re glad you’re here!
“Opera incorporates all the arts. Our Main Stage shows and Cabaret productions include spectacular singers, actors, and writers, fabulous symphony musicians, drama, comedy, dazzling dances, beautiful costumes, artistically designed sets, lighting, and stage direction, as well as a diverse and engaged audience.”
This project is supported in part by funding from Visit Mississippi, Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency, and in part, from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
