Creating opera to be a part of life in the region, they seek to instill a personal appreciation for opera among all ages and backgrounds. Each year, during May and June, Opera-tunities will reach elementary schools and public community venues with a youth- specific opera designed to inspire young minds with the power of the human voice. These performances, along with a Q&A session, often open the pathway to a life-long interest in opera. In July, Opera on the Lake offers a unique way for many to experience opera, along with a refreshing Lake Coeur d’Alene sunset cruise. An annual favorite, this opera is often a light comedy, perfect for a summer evening. In the fall, the grand Mainstage event offers some of the most talented stars on the international circuit and showcases the best loved productions in the repertoire.
