Opera Tampa is the resident opera company of the Straz Center for the Performing Arts (formerly the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center).

Now in its 15th season, Opera Tampa produces and presents grand opera. The full-scale productions – generally of Italian opera – feature international performers, the Opera Tampa Orchestra and the 50-60 member Opera Tampa Chorus under the direction of composer-conductor Anton Coppola.

Judith Lisi, president of the Straz Center, also acts as managing director of Opera Tampa. Soprano and founder of V.O.I.C.Experience, Maria Zouves is associate director of Opera Tampa. Baritone Sherrill Milnes is Opera Tampa’s artistic advisor. Since 2007, the Opera Tampa Orchestra has been contracted and managed for the Center by IBEX Productions LLC, a Tampa-Based music production firm.

Opera Tampa performs in the Straz Center’s 2,500-seat Carol Morsani Hall, which was designed as a classic horseshoe opera house in the style of the grand opera houses of Europe. The acoustics in Morsani Hall were designed by Russell Johnson.
