Florida Grand Opera
Arts & Culture
Florida Grand Opera produces classic grand opera, contemporary work, and new commissions in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Founded in 1941 as the Opera Guild of Greater Miami by Arturo Filippi, it merged with Opera Guild of Fort Lauderdale in 1994 and is now under the leadership of Susan T. Danis. Florida Grand Opera was the first producing arts organization in the state of Florida and the seventh oldest opera company in the United States. Its Florida Grand Opera Studio trains the opera stars of tomorrow, whose work supporting the world-class artists starring on FGO’s stages and performing in the community brings some of the greatest music ever composed to all of South Florida. Its 2023–24 season takes place at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, and features Giuseppe Verdi’s La traviata, Ruggero Leoncavallo’s I pagliacci, and Giacomo Puccini’s La bohème. All FGO productions feature projected translations in English and Spanish.
Florida Grand Opera (FGO), the oldest performing arts organization in Florida, celebrates its 2022-23 . Offerings include Cimarosa's El Matrimonio Secreto (The Secret Marriage), a double bill of Puccini's Gianni Schicchi and Michael Ching's Buoso's Ghost, Puccini's Tosca, and Rossini's The Barber of Seville.
