Mid-Ohio Civic Opera

We bring big stories and even bigger voices to the heart of Ohio. Proudly based in Mansfield, Ohio. 501c3

Our goal is to bring professional opera and classical voice concerts to our area at the lowest price point to attend possible. We aim to hire emerging artists for paid roles and help stop the exploitive use of YAPs and pay-to-play contracts that have taken over a large part of opera in the US. We give preference to regional and area emerging singers, but hire from all over the country when needed.

We aim to give young singers, accompanists, stage directors, technical theater people, and orchestra players a chance at adding to their professional resume. We give seasoned regional musicians a chance to play and sing, too. We aim at fostering community involvement through a volunteer community chorus and community helpers back stage at all age levels.
