Toledo Opera is so much more than the mainstage. Through free and low-cost events, we bring the magic of opera directly to neighborhoods across our region – creating exciting, accessible experiences in partnership with local organizations, venues, and artists. From lively Opera ‘Round Town performances to the intimate charm of Opera Cabaret, our core community programming is designed to connect people to opera in fun and exciting ways.
