Florentine Opera, Milwaukee

Florentine Opera Company—the nation's sixth oldest opera company—has brought the voices of local, national, and international opera singers to Milwaukee area residents since its premiere season in 1933. Guests unfamiliar with opera can gain insight to special productions thanks to meet-the-artist sessions, pre-performance talks, and other events. Between MainStage productions, the Florentine leads arts-education programs in schools and in the community.
