Sparking the curiosity and inspiration of our community is at the core of Opera Omaha’s programming. There is so much more than just what’s on stage at the Orpheum. Through collaboration and creativity, ripples of the possibilities of opera and art impact thousands in Omaha.

Mark your calendars

There is never a shortage of ways to interact with opera. We meet and collaborate in a slew of places around the Omaha area, on stage and off.

Beyond a night at the opera

Tactile and tangible art can transform in ways that go beyond experiencing a production. As an artistic leader in our city, Opera Omaha creates spaces for discovery, discussion, and possibility. Let’s keep the questions coming. Let’s probe new potential. Let’s spark inspiration.

Holland Community Opera Fellowship

Being responsive to our community through true collaboration opportunities is at the heart of the industry leading Holland Community Opera Fellowship. Opera, and the arts, become more than an observational experience as we blur the lines between artist and audience, creator and observer. HCOF works with community partners to co-create programming that helps individuals, organizations, and communities reach their goals.

Poetry & Music Project

The Opera Omaha Poetry and Music Project is an annual program run in partnership with the Nebraska Writers Collective to amplify the voices of youth poets, both urban and rural, across Nebraska and Iowa. Students are invited to submit poems on the theme, and professional composers select poems that move them from a robust collection of writing submitted by young writers in grades K-12 and create original music inspired by the selected poems. This program culminates in public performance of the selected poems -now songs.

A chorus of collaborators

We never sing solo. It is way more fun to give amplification, pride, and support to all the organizations we build alongside. Omaha is home to a special network of dedicated arts organizations, non-profits, and creatives that are flourishing our city and magnifying our community.
