Mission Statement

Fox Valley Opera aims to bridge the gap between local opera artists and their communities, recognizing the limited visibility they receive beyond their immediate circles. In a region brimming with theatre and classical music enthusiasts, we strive to bring opera closer to home, making it accessible to all. 

Fox Valley Opera is dedicated to providing local emerging artists with meaningful performance opportunities, alleviating some of the financial burdens often associated with early career development. Moreover, we acknowledge the diverse aspirations of local talent, offering a platform for those not actively pursuing full-time or international careers but still possessing exceptional training and skills. Fox Valley Opera endeavors to address these challenges by fostering a vibrant cultural scene and enriching the community with the beauty of live opera.

Additionally, Fox Valley Opera believes music can be a positive force beyond our audiences. We aim to fundraise for, bring awareness to, and partner with local community groups and charities in conjunction with our performance opportunities. Our overarching goal is to be part of a vibrant, inclusive cultural landscape, ensuring accessibility and fulfillment for both performers and audiences in our greater community.
