The Intimate Opera Company tours fully-staged opera productions throughout Southern California. By presenting affordable opera in English and involving local talent, our performances inspire appreciation of the operatic art form. In addition, we seek to encourage promising young singers through competitions, workshops, and performance opportunities.

From providing monthly programs at a bookstore in Old Town Pasadena, we soon began performing at such venues as the Richard Nixon Library, the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center, Leisure World Laguna Hills, and Jordan Hall in Long Beach. The Intimate Opera Company is presently the resident opera company at Westminster Gardens in Duarte.

We have received grants from the Capital Group Companies Charitable Foundation, the Wal-Mart Charitable Foundation, the State Farm Insurance Companies Foundation, and the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, the California Council for the Humanities, and the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation.
