MINNESOTA OPERA

In 1963, the commission of Minnesota composer Dominick Argento's The Masque of Angels (pictured above) sparked the creation of a small Twin Cities opera company spotlighting the rare and avant-garde. Over fifty-five years later, Minnesota Opera is a leading American company, admired as an innovative creator of compelling opera productions, programs, and new works... Minnesota Opera's New Works Initiative (NWI) continues to invigorate the operatic art form with an infusion of contemporary works... MN Opera believes that pursuing anti-racist and anti-oppressive practices enhances the beauty and power of the form itself, and amplifies the tremendous artistry cultivated in our musical storytelling.
