ABOUT US

The Green Mountain Opera Festival, a truly unique gem of a festival based in the Mad River Valley (Central Vermont), is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year. It is now considered one of New England's premier opera producers. Sponsored by the Green Mountain Cultural Center [non-profit 501(c)(3)], it presents professional quality opera productions at the historic Barre Opera House and several other public performances in the Mad River Valley and beyond. Its audiences are warm and extremely enthusiastic.

As the founding Artistic Director, Taras Kulish's mission is to enrich the cultural lives of Vermonters and of its visitors by consistently presenting high quality professional opera productions and concerts. The GMOF also firmly believes in integrating Vermont's vast artistic community with today's working opera professionals both national and international.

Every year this festival grows stronger and stronger. We are proud to now be a professional company member of Opera America. The main reason for the festival's success is due to the very strong support of the community. A huge thank you goes to all its dedicated volunteers and giving donors.

Spanning almost the entire month of June, festival activities include an Emerging Artist Program, free open rehearsals, various concerts both operatic and broadway style, free master classes with renown opera stars and of course a fully staged, costumed opera production accompanied by the Green Mountain Opera Orchestra and Chorus.

We look forward to welcoming you at one of our upcoming events.
