2018-2019
The 2018-2019 season was a landmark season for Opera Columbus, including our first new work in nearly 20 years, new community outreach programs, and robust interest in our annual vocal competition. In March 2019, the Opera Columbus Board of Trustees approved new mission, vision, and values statements that were developed after a long process of self-discovery, including interviews with artists, donors, community members, trustees, and staff. Our mission informs everything we do – it’s our north star – and our vision is the change we seek.

2017-2018
The 2017-2018 season was filled with unforgettable moments and more than a bit of artistic risk. We hope you enjoyed watching it as much as we did creating it.In March, we unveiled a new logo and slogan: Make It Yours. This new brand boldly states our commitment to make opera that is exciting, accessible, and relevant to everyone, whether you prefer jeans or black tie, love the grand opera classics or edgy modern works. We look forward to seeing you at the theatre very soon.We accomplished so much this season, but it would be meaningless without you – our subscribers, donors and friends who cheer us on with your applause and your gifts, both of which enable us to transform the arts community in central Ohio and across the world.THANK YOU!
