San Diego Opera, ranked by OPERA AMERICA as one of the top 10 opera companies in the United States, is a widely respected member of the international opera community and an invaluable cultural resource to the San Diego community.

San Diego Opera was founded in 1950 to present San Francisco Opera productions in the San Diego community, and became a producing company in its own right in 1965 with its first staging of La bohème in the new Civic Theatre.

San Diego Opera’s acclaimed productions regularly bring internationally renowned artists to perform in San Diego throughout its five month season. Its award winning Operation: Opera program is one of the most extensive and diverse opera education and outreach programs in North America, bringing music and arts to 100,000 school children in San Diego County and Northern Mexico. The North American Voices Project, instituted in 1993, became a model for opera companies throughout the United States, adding contemporary American operas to complement the traditional repertoire each season.

San Diego Opera’s performances take place at the Civic Theatre, at the intersection of Third Avenue and B Street in downtown San Diego. Tickets can be purchased online at its website.
