Michigan Opera Theater offers the Detroit community the opportunity to hear some of the world’s biggest opera stars, such as Ruth Ann Swenson and Denyce Graves in a wonderful mixture of repertoire from Bel canto to Verismo, as well as contemporary pieces.
Opera Talks begin one hour prior to each performance, and are free to all ticket holders. Other special events such as The Insider’s Opera Experience, offer reduced admission to an open rehearsal, along with a tour of the Opera House and a Talk Back with the featured artists.
