Profile Information

About:: California Opera’s primary focus is to identify, recruit, train, present, and shepherd the opera world’s most outstanding singers to International and Grand Opera careers. Artists participate based on performing ability, experience, desire to excel in the field, and potential to positively contribute to the future of the traditional, yet changing face of opera in both local and international venues. California Opera artists are presented in an annual SUMMER OPERA ARTS & EDUCATION FESTIVAL, and in fully-staged opera productions and special events throughout the year. The opera, committed to ensuring access to the arts, delivers programs annually to several thousand children and for various charitable and community causes. California Opera, founded in May 2000 by internationally acclaimed Mezzo-Soprano and General Artistic Director Edna Garabedian, is distinguished by its reputation for high quality programs and performances that are acclaimed by critics locally, nationally and internationally.

“What performers…They give us their souls….How do they do it?”

“Remarkable vocals, heart-stopping suspense, gripping drama and riotous comedy…”

“You will rarely hear more passionate singing…The drama and music is superb!”

“An exquisite, enjoyable experience - even for my husband who normally does not enjoy opera -
he is actually looking forward to the next performance.”

“I took my 14 year old daughter who sat spellbound and amazed…
her favorite opera experience to date.”

I just returned from an out of town trip also. The poster competition the 14th was one in which paintings were submitted to represent the Central California Winegrowers Fall Cornucopia at Chuckchansi Oct 25th. I won it :)
I am following your 'travels' through Fresno with great interest! So your wonderful vocals will be heard from the courtyard during the grand reopening of the Met? Do you know if the performances will float on throughout the museum also? What a day at the Met that will be!!

Well, beating the heat, I am not.
But as I look back I see I didn't get my THANK YOU to you after showing at the Tower.. What a special experience it was to be at the Oprera again and even more fun listening while I worked.
Thank you again...and I look forward to again merging the arts in such a special fashion!.
I'll be following you with interest,
until the next time,
Linda

I do want you to continue keeping me in the loop of information especially as I do want to make a definite connection with Spirit of Woman. I did not get anyone there this Spring or Summer because the founder, Audrey, had surgery and is recovering. I need to have her total awareness and help in organizing who and when. Keep me posted. Thanks, Karlene Ryan
