Since 1945, the Delaware opera company has performed such timeless works as Puccini’s Tosca, Verdi’s La Traviata, Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, and Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. There are also free lectures for adults, multifaceted educational programs for young students that include classroom workshops and visits to rehearsals, and the cabaret-esque Studio Series concerts.
