Yes! Opera is for everyone. First timers, couples, families, and friends. General story themes include: love, humor, rivalry, and tragedy.

Whether you’re attending your first Opera or your twentieth, we’re happy to have you and look forward to sharing the FM Opera experience with you.

No problem! FM Opera staff, board members, and volunteers will be around to guide you.

Each Opera features world-class performers, orchestra music, live theatre, and a stunning production.

The majority of FM Opera performances run between two and three hours, with a 15-minute intermission.

Tickets are available at a variety of price-points to ensure that Opera is accessible to all.

Ticket information can be found here.

While many Operas are sung in Italian, German, or French, you’ll be able to follow the story via English supertitles projected on the screen. A short summary of the show will also be included in your program. Don’t forget to grab one before you head to your seat.

If you’re unsure when to applaud, simply wait and join in with the rest of the crowd. Some folks applaud at the end of major Arias, and always at the end of each act.

There is no standard dress code, but most guests lean toward business casual or cocktail. We like to say elevated but comfortable.

We suggest arriving at least 30 minutes prior to curtain to ensure that you can find your seat and get settled in. Extra time also allows for a visit to the restroom and/or concession stand.

While parking varies by venue, this season’s shows are hosted at venues with designated parking lots or have ample street parking and/or parking ramps nearby. If you have special parking or transportation needs, please reach out to our team prior to the performance you plan to attend.
