BARN OPERA

Vermont's Intimate Opera Company specializing in new productions of both new and historical works in an intimate and accessible environment.



BARN OPERA is an innovative, operatic organization that brings the joy and beauty of accessible opera to a welcoming, rural community. Housed in a rehabilitated and historic post-and-beam barn, we immerse our audience in transformative artistic experiences that promote and ensure opera’s relevance in the 21st century. We know that opera has had a somewhat varied reputation in our community, and we are hoping to provide a way to break all conceived notions and previous negativity directed at this fantastic art form. Our ideal audience member is absolutely anyone, ranging from one who has been a life-long lover of opera to someone who has been completely turned off by the grandiosity and socio economic division of the idea of "the opera," and everything in between! Even if you previously thought opera "isn't for you," give BARN OPERA a chance to change your mind! We at BARN OPERA believe that the operatic art form is not for the elite, but should be for everyone to enjoy, and we work tirelessly to break down barriers and forge new relationships and mint new opera lovers, with beer/wine in hand!
