About the Metroplex Opera
Company
The Metroplex Opera
Company was founded to perform operas and operettas to enlighten and
entertain the general public.
The Metroplex Opera Company will afford
trained opera singers, actors, and instrumentalists in the Dallas-Fort
Worth area the experience and exposure necessary for a musical career.
To help young people appreciate opera, it will present short operas in
area schools. A long-range goal is to present operas and operettas in
towns without access to opera so that more people can appreciate this
unique art form.
Members of the Company have presented
Christmas concerts at Valley View Mall in Dallas, fundraising concerts
at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, and concerts of patriotic music at
retirement homes. It has performed 2 concerts for the Italian Club of
Dallas, and has given two very successful fundraising concerts at the
home of a patron.
The Metroplex Opera Company performed its
first staged work, Puccini's Suor Angelica, on March 17 and 19,
2006, at El Centro Community College.
The Company presented its second
staged production with orchestra, Sigmund Romberg's The Student
Prince, on April 11, 12, and 13, 2008, at the Lakewood Theater in
Dallas.
There are also fundraising concerts
held from time to time.
All singers who perform with the
Metroplex Opera Company are given honoraria.
