A Message from our General Director & Music Director

At Opera San José, each season is crafted as an unforgettable journey—sweeping audiences into worlds of drama, beauty, and breathtaking music. Now in our 42nd season, we bring you four operatic masterpieces by Mozart, Puccini, Mascagni, Leoncavallo, and Verdi—works that ignite the soul with stories of passion, betrayal, redemption, and truth. These are operas that don’t just entertain—they reveal. From “Un bel dì” to “Vesti la giubba,” the season brims with iconic melodies and towering emotional stakes, brought to life by beloved returning artists and thrilling new voices on the stunning stage of the California Theatre. Whether you’re discovering opera for the first time or have been with us from the beginning, we invite you to experience a season filled with spectacle, soul, and the transformative power of live performance.

With Gratitude,
