Our Mission

The UF Opera Theatre’s mission is to continue the School of Music’s rich tradition of opera performance by offering students numerous stage opportunities in a variety of operatic styles and performing venues. In addition to the educational and performing opportunities available to its students, one of the UF Opera Theatre’s foremost goals is to introduce the exciting world of opera to the regional community by producing musical dramas that appeal to a wide range of audiences. Recent main stage performances include: Hansel and Gretel, The Barber of Seville, La Bohème, Tosca, La Traviata, The Mikado, The Magic Flute, Susannah, Die Fledermaus, and the world premiere of Stella Sung’s The Red Silk Thread.​ Under the direction of Dr. Anthony Offerle, the UF Opera Theatre’s staging of Paul Richard's, The Golem of Prague, was a 2023 winner of a National Opera Association award for large scale opera production.
