About Tulsa Opera

Driven by its mission to enrich the community through high-quality cultural entertainment, education, and engagement, Tulsa Opera is proud to help drive the artistic vibrancy that makes Tulsa a world-class city.

Established in 1948, Tulsa Opera is the first professional performing arts organization in the state of Oklahoma and the twelfth oldest opera company in North America. Since its inception, it has hosted the greatest artists of the day on the mainstage and in concert, including Luciano Pavarotti, Leontyne Price, Beverly Sills, Renata Scotto, Samuel Ramey, and many others. Its repertoire spans a rich mixture of traditional favorites and modern masterpieces.

Tulsa Opera is known for its bold, fresh, and innovative mainstage productions and community-centric initiatives. Outstanding programs such as the Tulsa Youth Opera, the Raise Your Voice Tour, and the Filstrup Resident Artist Program celebrate local talent and serve Tulsans where they live, while Aria Yoga and Songs by Heart, a program serving those living with dementia, bring the healing power of vocal music into the health and wellness space. Tulsa Opera’s engagement and education programs reach over 50,000 Tulsans annually.
