Thanks to your incredible support, Opera Modesto closed our 25/26 season with Rusalka! We had two nearly sold-out performances and standing ovations from curtain down.
This year, we welcomed international artists from the Czech Republic, premiered a brand-new orchestration, and brought audiences from across the Central Valley, Bay Area, and Los Angeles together.
From two sold-out concerts (Americana and Goodnight Moon), to reaching 13,000 students with Cendrillon through our Story Into Song Literacy Initiative, to The Elixir of Love featuring local and returning artists, we’re so proud of this season.
We also welcomed our new Music Director, Caleb Yanez Glickman!
Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and supported!
Next up… our 26/27 season announcement. Stay tuned!
