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.
