Opera Philadelphia

About

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. The imaginative production of Cinderella in November 2006 by the acclaimed Italian team of director Davide Livermore and set and costume designer Santi Centineo, had The Philadelphia Inquirer lauding it as "easily among OCP's most theatrically sophisticated accomplishments."
