Our History
Cape Cod Opera evolved from a 1994 recital sponsored by Friends of Monomoy Theatre under the name of Afternoon at the Opera. Opera New England of Cape Cod joined in sponsoring the next year's concert, followed by concert productions of Carmen and Die Fledermaus. This collaboration grew into Cape Cod Opera, an independent non-profit organization dedicated to the production of staged opera showcasing professional local and regional talent. Cape Cod Opera's outreach programs take live classical vocal music to Cape schools at no cost. 2001 saw the expansion of these programs to the senior population. The organization is administered by an all volunteer board.
The Cape Cod Opera Chorus
The Cape Cod Opera Chorus was introduced to Cape audiences in August 2000. The chorus, with singers from all parts of Cape Cod, debuted with An Evening of Opera with Sigmund Romberg and have since accompanied principals in Cape Cod Opera productions of La Traviata, Madama Butterfly, Die Fledermaus, I Paglacci/Cavalleria Rusticana, The Mikado, Carmen, Amahl and The Night Visitors, Tosca, Cosi Fan Tutte, The Merry Widow and have sung in most opera concerts. They appeared with Jonathan McPhee's Symphony by the Sea in July 2005 in a concert at The Hatch Shell on the Esplanade in Boston. Members of the Cape Cod Opera Chorus also sing comprimario roles in productions. The chorus always welcomes new members.
