Incorporated in 1967, Opera Theatre of Northern Virginia became and remains the second oldest opera company in continuous production in the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area. Beginning July 1, 2010, OTNV began operating as Aurora Opera Theatre -- a new name for a new direction with the storied company. We present quality opera productions in intimate venues and at affordable prices. Many of our operas are sung in English. Tomorrow's singers at leading opera houses need a more intimate stage on which to launch their careers, and Aurora Opera provides such a venue. Jennifer Larmore, Alessandra Marc, Thomas Moser, and Carl Tanner are some of the singers who starred in our productions on their way to appearances with larger companies both here and abroad. We take special pride in our Annual Family Opera and outreach to schoolchildren in the area. Recent productions include Beautybeast with music by Mozart (2011), Zytowski's Pinocchio (2009), Rossini's Cinderella (2008), and Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel (2007). Other production have included: Charlotte's Web, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Phantom Tollbooth, The Nightingale, The Cricket in Times Square, and The Araboolies of Liberty Street. Aurora Opera brings to life the lesser-known works of famous composers and new American operas. Over the past 20 years, 75 percent of our productions have been area premieres. In addition, we bring music education directly into local schools through our education and outreach programs, such as "Operamania" throughout the year. Show less
