If you haven't been to Opera Theatre before, get ready for a surprise: this isn't old-style opera in huge theaters and foreign languages. You'll see exciting brand-new productions, sung in English by the best young artists, accompanied by members of the famed Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. You’ll experience opera in a 987-seat theater that brings the audience close to the action – and the English text is projected at the sides of the stage, so you won’t miss a word!
