Opera Wilmington brings together two distinct local groups: those who love to perform opera and those who love to support it, to enhance awareness of this unique art form. Drawing upon the rich resources of local talent, Opera Wilmington is dedicated to providing live operatic performance, and to cultivating a new generation of opera lovers through educational outreach programs. In addition to live performance, Opera Wilmington also provides the lovers of Opera (Opera Angels) the opportunity to gather and promote the art form, through lectures, dinners, travel, and sponsorship of student scholarships.
