Founded in 1975, Opera Philadelphia is the city’s professional opera company. It performs at the historic Academy of Music and at the Kimmel Center’s Perelman Theater, and extends its reach across Philadelphia through Festival O, which launched in 2017. The company presents both traditional repertoire and contemporary works, and it identifies and cultivates rising talent alongside internationally acclaimed singers. Opera Philadelphia emphasizes education and audience development, aiming to broaden, deepen, and diversify opera audiences in the region and beyond. A recent development includes a collaboration with Temple University on the February 2026 world premiere of Complications in Sue, followed by a recording of the work, a project that featured ten composers with a libretto by Michael R. Jackson in his operatic debut and starred Justin Vivian Bond.
