ABOUT US

Sponsored by the Green Mountain Cultural Center [non-profit 501 (C) (3)], the Green Mountain Opera Festival is truly a unique gem of a festival in Central Vermont. Our home is at the Joslyn Round Barn in Waitsfield with full opera productions performed at the historical Barre Opera House. Our audiences are warm and extremely enthusiastic.

As the founding Artistic Director of Vermont's professional opera festival, my 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.

It's not easy building a professional opera festival from the ground up, especially in these tough economic times, nevertheless every year our festival seems to be growing stronger and stronger. Thanks to all the strong support from the community, we're counting on you!

Festival activities include free open rehearsals, various concerts both operatic and broadway style, free master classes with renown opera stars such as Phyllis Curtin and Sanford Sylvan, and of course a fully staged, costumed opera production accompanied by the Green Mountain Opera Orchestra and Chorus.

This summer we will introduce a fully staged second production, The Elixir of Love, featuring our Emerging Artists which will be performed at the Joslyn Round Barn. And, of course, we look forward to seeing you at all our events, including the festival's main production The Marriage of Figaro at the Barre Opera House.
