The mission of Pacific Northwest Opera is to produce high quality, classical vocal programming (including, but not limited to, Opera, Operetta, Recital, Oratorio and Musical Theatre) available to all audiences and individuals, regardless of their age, income, demographic background, or knowledge of music. We strive to develop a regional audience for our programming and to nurture enjoyment of, and participation in, classical vocal programming in the northwest region of Washington state. We provide programming that will encourage people of all ages to be involved as both participants and audience and produce educational programs for students in order to help develop a lifelong appreciation of classical music.
