Opera Delaware is a professional opera company located in Wilmington, Delaware[1]. The company was founded in 1944 and is one of the oldest professional opera companies in the United States. To date the company has staged 198 productions of 104 operas by 55 composers. Opera Delaware has also presented 19 world premieres (18% of their repertoire) and three U.S. premieres.[2] The company offers three fully staged productions during an annual season and has frequently received positive reviews for its productions in such publications as Opera News and the New York Times.[3] In 2005 Opera News said, "Now in its sixtieth season, Opera Delaware continues to provide quality productions that both entertain and involve the community it serves. Their new production of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess is superbly produced and led by an all around stellar cast." The company performs its productions at the historic Grand Opera House.[4]
