Mission: Opera piccola's mission is to create a dynamic, intimate operatic experience, and to inspire our audiences, artists, and community. Our artistic mission is to pursue excellence in the presentation of diverse repertoire, through innovative original productions and detailed performance practice, and to provide opportunity to artists throughout the us at all stages of their careers, from student to mentor. In doing so, we will advance and preserve the traditions of our art form.
Programs: The 2014 fiscal year included producing an innovative and highly acclaimed season of production at the charline mccombs empire theatre. Included in the season was tone pictures at thiry auditorium (ollu) in collaboration with sa symphony's dvorak festival, mozart's bastien and bastienne & rodriguez's la curandera, ricky ian gordon's orpheus, euridici & green sneakers and lee hoiby's the italian lesson & bernstein's trouble in tahiti. Each of the operas was sung in english and cost only a fraction of other opera regional companies, making them both accessible and affordable. The company's educational outreach program offered free student performances at the empire and outreach for the elderly, performing opera in retirement communities in san antonio.
