More information
Formed in 1975, the Opera Company of Philadelphia has always been and remains committed to delivering outstanding productions of traditional and new repertoire. Through its in-house Production Center, established in 1993, the Opera Company builds new and innovative productions—including 2007's larger-than-life Rigoletto—in its facility located at the Arsenal Business center in the Tacony section of Philadelphia. In addition to creating new productions, the Opera Company of Philadelphia searches all over the world to bring the best of the international opera scene here to Philadelphia. Since the Company’s founding, OCP has a long tradition of identifying and cultivating rising young talent and casting these future stars alongside internationally acclaimed singers. In 1980 the Company began a long-standing relationship with Luciano Pavarotti, establishing the Opera Company of Philadelphia/Luciano Pavarotti International Voice Competition, giving aspiring young singers an opportunity to showcase their talent.
