Sarasota Opera Studio Artists in Concert

Wednesday, January 28th at 7:30pm

Studio artists from the Sarasota Opera will perform opera highlights, including arias and ensembles, from some of the most well-known and well-loved classic operas.

Entering its 67th season this year, and celebrating 100 years of the Sarasota Opera House, Sarasota Opera will present four classic productions this season, including the Puccini's La bohème, Lehár's The Merry Widow, Verdi's Il trovatore, and Floyd's Susannah. This performance will showcase the world-class talent this historical venue brings to the community.

The Sarasota Opera Apprentice and Studio Artist Program is one of the leading training programs in the United States for aspiring singers. Chosen from national auditions, the participants in the Apprentice and Studio Artists Program form the chorus for the main stage opera productions, perform community outreach, understudy principal roles as well as perform secondary roles. Many former Sarasota Opera Apprentice and Studio Artists have gone on to perform leading roles with the company as well as with major opera houses around the world.

Sarasota Opera, known as "Verdi's American Home," enters its 67th consecutive season of bringing world class opera to the gulf coast. Consistently garnering international attention, Sarasota Opera continues to distinguish itself as one of the top opera companies in the United States by finding innovation through tradition. The 2025 Winter Opera Festival includes performances of The Music of Giuseppe Verdi. Verdi has been an important part of the history of Sarasota Opera, the only company in the world to have presented all of his works. Compelling stories with great music and stunning productions make a performance at Sarasota Opera a not-to-be-forgotten experience.
