Fort Worth Opera

Founded in 1946, Fort Worth Opera is the oldest continually performing opera company in Texas and is poised to celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2021. For the last fifteen years, FWO has become one of the leading American companies dedicated to nurturing and performing new works, in addition to producing performances of traditional repertoire with rising American stars. The company's acclaimed Frontiers program was produced online in the fall of 2020 with our first digital Libretto Workshop, featuring live actors and an esteemed panel of opera luminaries.

FWO’s Children’s Opera Theatre typically reaches about 60,000 students across North Texas each season with live, interactive performances. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has created online educational curriculum for local music students to supplement their in-school studies, and COT can also now serve entire families and communities beyond the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Fort Worth Opera is committed to celebrating all North Texans, and through our ongoing Noches de Ópera program, the company offers exciting community-driven events and powerful operas that represent the diverse cultures of all of the Americas.
