Atlanta Opera

The Atlanta Opera’s mission is to break the boundaries of opera to create exceptional experiences for audiences everywhere.

Founded in 1979, The Atlanta Opera has celebrated opera for over 40 years. The Opera works with acclaimed singers, conductors, directors, and designers to present world-class productions. Recently reaching the status of a Budget One company, as designated by Opera America, The Atlanta Opera is now one of the top 10 companies in the U.S.

Under the leadership of Tomer Zvulun, internationally-recognized stage director and the Carl W. Knobloch, Jr. General & Artistic Director, The Atlanta Opera presents mainstage productions at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and the acclaimed Discoveries series at locations throughout the Atlanta metro. In recent years, the company was recognized by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as part of its “Best of 2015” awards; it was nominated for an International Opera Award in 2016 and 2023; and won ArtsATL’s 2019 Luminary Award for Community Engagement, recognizing its successful Veterans Ticket Program in partnership with The Home Depot Foundation.
