Mission

Connect the community through great live music. To perform. To engage. To inspire. We do this by serving the people of our state and beyond as the region's premier provider of orchestral and operatic music. Our orchestral performances span the traditions of the past, as well as present works by contemporary composers. We offer opera productions that showcase emerging and established artists, celebrate traditional opera, and champion the American operatic tradition. Each summer in Park City we present a variety of musical experiences at our Deer Valley Music Festival. We lead in arts education and promote life-long learning through the arts. We serve as a catalyst for innovation, advocacy, and impact in our state. We truly believe that providing our neighbors, children, friends, and others in our state with high-caliber, live music experiences help to make Utah a great place to live.

Code 711110 OPERA PERFORMANCES - Utah Opera performs in Salt Lake City's Capitol Theatre, reaching an audience of over 21,000. Utah Opera offered 24 performances of four mainstage productions this year. Utah Opera has a nationally-renowned costume shop, and features some of the top singers, directors, conductors, and designers from around the country. A Resident Artists program provides aspiring young singers an opportunity to refine their craft while performing secondary roles and singing in education and community outreach programs. Please see utahopera.org for more information. A prime example of the services we are able to render to the arts community is the value housed in the Utah Opera Production Studios. One of a kind facility, the Utah Opera Production Studios houses a team of artisans, designers, and skilled craftsmen who bring the art form of opera to life for Utah Opera and performing arts organizations around the world through its sets and costumes construction and rentals programs. The Utah Opera Production Studios bring the integration of all production activities of the Utah Symphony | Utah Opera to one resourceful location (Costume Shop & Rentals, Prop Studio, Scenic Shop & Scenic Studio, Set Storage, Assembly Bay, Rehearsal Hall) and allows the organization to utilize a business model which combines all aspects of both symphonic and operatic art forms. Production needs for performances at Abravanel Hall, the Capitol Theatre, and even the Deer Valley Music Festival can be designed and built with the resources found in this building. This has resulted in valuable cost savings and artistic synergy for the organization and the community.

Expenses: $5.3M
