Detroit Opera operates as a nonprofit performing arts company focused on opera and dance, based in Detroit, Michigan. It seeks to renew the form by staging new and reimagined productions that connect with today's audiences, while prioritizing accessibility, community involvement, artistic risk-taking, and collaboration. The organization traces its roots to 1971, when Dr. David DiChiera founded it as Michigan Opera Theatre, and its leadership includes President and CEO Patty Isacson Sabee, Artistic Director Yuval Sharon, Music Director Roberto Kalb, and Board Chair Ethan Davidson. Its work targets audiences seeking ambitious, accessible performances and it partners with other arts groups and institutions to broaden reach and impact. A recent development involves a collaboration with Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings to present Mahagonny Songspel, reflecting its emphasis on cross-arts partnerships.
