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

The program has developed some of today’s brightest stars, including Rhiannon Giddens, Alek Shrader, Denyce Graves, Alyson Cambridge, Lisa Saffer, and Daniel Okulitch.
