Florida Grand Opera

Florida Grand Opera was formed in June 1994 by the merger of Greater Miami Opera, founded in 1941, and The Opera Guild Inc., of Fort Lauderdale, founded in 1945.  Celebrating its 79th year of continuous performances during the 2019/20 season, Florida Grand Opera stands as one of the oldest performing arts organizations in Florida.  In addition to producing standard repertoire, Florida Grand Opera also presents lesser known operas, as well as commissions and produces new operas -- all productions featuring projected translations in English and Spanish. Annually, main stage performances are attended by nearly 60,000 people, and education and outreach programs serve over 20,000 members of the community.  FGO offers several highly successful outreach and educational programs, including its internationally-recognized Studio Artist Program.
