Opera companies are organizations that produce and perform operas, which are theatrical works combining music, singing, and drama. These companies often feature a range of performances, from classic operas by composers like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Giuseppe Verdi to contemporary works. They typically employ a variety of artists, including singers, musicians, and stage directors, to bring these productions to life. Many opera companies also focus on community engagement and education, offering programs to introduce audiences to the art form. They may host workshops, outreach events, and special performances aimed at making opera more accessible to diverse audiences.
