The Atlanta Opera strives to make opera accessible through a variety of diverse programming and community partnerships in and around Metro-Atlanta.
Pre-Opera Talk
Join us one hour prior to the start of each mainstage performance for an informative talk about the evening’s opera. Learn the story behind the opera and what inspired the composer and librettist. Conducted by artists and opera aficionados, Pre-Opera Talks give a better understanding of the opera and a boost of energy before the curtain goes up. FREE with a performance ticket; seating is general admission.
