Opera 2023–24 Season

Oberlin Opera has long been synonymous with excellence. Staging two major productions with orchestra each year, Oberlin Opera often challenges the operatic norm, and its performances have received critical acclaim.

Past conductors have included Robert Spano ’84, Stephen Lord, Ward Holmquist, and Ari Pelto. The program has developed some of today’s brightest stars, including Rhiannon Giddens, Alek Shrader, Denyce Graves, Daniel Okulitch, Edward Parks, and Limmie Pulliam.
