Current Season
From beloved classics to fresh discoveries, our season stirs the heart and sparks the imagination with stories that linger long after the final note.
Howdy!
100% Opera. 100% Memphis.
Since 1956, Opera Memphis has never stopped singing. Thirteen presidents, nine recessions, three trips to The Final Four, and one global pandemic later, here we are, still making music.
We do it because music has the power to transform us and unite us, to challenge us to see the world through new eyes. Whether onstage, online, or on the back of a pick-up truck, we keep singing.
So long as there are songs to sing and stories to tell, Opera Memphis will be here, hearts open and arms thrown wide, eager to raise our voice for you, for us, and for everyone in our city.
