Opera Cabaret is performance series developed by Toledo Opera to spotlight the artistry and talent of the Toledo Opera Chorus. The program was conceived following the company’s production of South Pacific, which featured a small and specialized ensemble. In response, the artistic staff created Opera Cabaret as a platform to fully showcase the chorus – a group regarded as the heart of Toledo Opera. Comprised of regional and local professional singers, the Toledo Opera Chorus plays an essential role in bringing each mainstage production to life. These dedicated artists generously contribute their time, talent, and passion to the company. Opera Cabaret offers them the opportunity to shine in a more intimate setting, while also deepening connections with the community through varied vocal selections and engaging performances.

Opera Cabaret is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit toledoopera.org. For media access, please contact Rachael Cammarn at rcammarn@toledoopera.org.
