2016

Skylark Opera Theatre (renamed in 2016) ambitiously relaunched its brand in 2016 after serving the community as a mainstay for large productions particularly featuring operetta and light opera. Looking forward, the company realized it needed to become relevant and viable to the present and open to the future. The result is a pared down, intimate, site-specific company that presents a hybrid format where opera and theatre (music and language) are equal.
