Florentine Opera Company

Opera continues to be a dramatic, immersive experience, and therefore holds so many parallels to the rapidly changing lives were undergoing, as a Company and as individuals. In an era that calls for rapid change and adaptation, we are proud of what we have accomplished. The artistic and community touchpoints that represent fiscal 2022 range from Company premieres to school children debuts. We found solutions to challenges that at times felt impossible. Our ability to map new paths, to responsibly steward our budget, and to bring the full Opera experience to milwaukee can only grow as we move forward with everything we have learned in the past seasons. The magic of ravel's garden scene complete with frog dance and the thrilling pianissimo of jessica jones' gilda in rigoletto will stay with the Florentine for a long time.

The Company provides a vital addition to local arts education--both in the classroom and on the stage.
