Discover the Magic of Toledo Opera

Founded in 1959, Toledo Opera is dedicated to producing high-quality operas, operettas, and musicals that resonate with audiences of all ages. Each year, approximately 30,000 people experience the thrill of live performances at the historic Valentine Theatre, located in the heart of downtown Toledo. Collaborating with the Toledo Symphony, the Toledo Opera Chorus, and the Toledo Opera Children’s Chorus, the organization brings captivating stories to life on stage.

Engaging the Community Through Education

Toledo Opera believes in the power of opera to inspire and educate. Programs like "An Opera Is a Story" for preschoolers, "Opera on Wheels" for elementary students, and "Student Night at the Opera" for middle and high school students are designed to engage young audiences and foster a love for the arts. Additionally, initiatives such as Opera Outdoors and Opera Out of the Box extend the reach of opera beyond traditional venues, making it accessible to the broader community.

Impacting Lives Through Art

Toledo Opera's commitment to community engagement and artistic excellence is evident in its diverse programming. The organization convened a Community Engagement Advisory Committee in 2017 to co-create programs that address contemporary issues faced by Toledo residents. This dedication to diversity and inclusion continues to shape new projects and partnerships, ensuring that opera remains relevant and impactful.
