Washington Concert Opera is a professional concert opera company offering internationally acclaimed singers, professional orchestra and chorus in concert versions of rarely heard, full-length operatic works.  Founded in 1986, WCO has presented more than 40 operas, featuring world-class singers who regularly appear on the most renowned opera house stages. WCO strives to provide audiences with a unique musical experience and has repeatedly and consistently been acclaimed in the local, national, and international press as one of the finest in the field. 

Washington Concert Opera’s slogan sums up what a concert opera performance is about…”it’s all about the music.”  A concert opera is a complete, full-length opera presented with the soloists, orchestra, chorus and conductor on stage.  There are no sets, costumes or (usually) props to distract the eye….and ear….from the operatic score.  The focus is entirely on the performers and their dynamic interaction with their audience.  There is nothing to upstage the music and dramatic interpretations at hand.  It is truly all about the music.
