Cleveland Opera Theater

l adore The Cleveland Opera Theater. Here in Cleveland, we are SO lucky to have a world class opera that also values accessibility. I've seen opera around the world, and for me, they perform at a caliber that solidifies itself as a major player.I have now seen the Cleveland Opera Theater perform in a few contexts including a spring main stage production at the Maltz Performing Arts Center and a free outreach performance in a local park. They also have an "Opera in Alternative Venues" series which I find brilliant. I love the idea of activating unusual spaces with powerful talent, and pairing it with elegant activities like fine dining.Whether you consider yourself an aficionado or a true beginner of opera, COT makes valid strides to make opera accessible. They do this through reasonably priced and often free performances, community programming like Opera Club, and even logistical helpers such as translations during performances. Don't let opera discourage you, give the Cleveland Opera Theater a visit and you will not regret it!
