Celebrating 47 Years of Opera
For the past 45 years, Ozarks Lyric Opera has been entertaining and educating the Ozarks through our commitment to bringing this life-changing art form to our community. We strive to Foster a greater understanding of, and appreciation for opera. Provide a wide range of repertoire to engage both existing and emerging audiences. Present opera in a variety of settings and make it accessible to as wide a segment of the community as possible. Look for collaborations that provide access, outreach, and education for people of all ages and cultural backgrounds in our diverse community.
