Boston Lyric Opera

BLO inspires, entertains, and connects communities through compelling opera performances, programs, and gatherings. Now in its 49th Season, Boston Lyric Opera is dedicated to creating compelling operatic experiences throughout the greater Boston area that welcome new audiences, break new ground, and enrich community life. Since its founding in 1976, Boston Lyric Opera has produced world and US premieres, Pulitzer Prize-winning operas, and notable commissions and coproductions, ranging from live stage shows to films streamed worldwide. BLO has partnered with organizations such as Covent Garden, San Francisco Opera, Detroit Opera, and more, and continues to be a destination for leading artists, conductors, directors, and designers from around the world. Each season, BLO invests in Jane & Steven Akin Emerging Artists to hone their craft and prepare for the next step in their careers. Alongside its mainstage season, BLO presents wide-reaching community and educational public programs and performances year-round, some at its Midway Artist Studios headquarters, others in partnership with the Boston Public Library, Boston Public Schools, and cultural organizations across New England. .
