Our Story
An Opera Theatre was founded by Kelly M Turpin with a vision to inspire community engagement through the power of opera. By utilizing local Minnesota artists of the highest caliber, AOT presents socially relevant productions that break down societal, financial, and cultural barriers. The mission is clear: art should be accessible and meaningful for everyone. AOT offers 'pay as you are able' ticket options, provides Opera Education Immersion classes for ESL and immigrant communities, and partners with local social non-profit organizations to ensure that art is truly of and for the people.
