Buy New Orleans Opera Tickets

Get ready to experience an age-old musical experience with New Orleans Opera tickets. The history of opera in New Orleans dates back to the 1790s with the first documented opera performance occurring while George Washington was still in the White House. Although opera in New Orleans has taken many forms and been sponsored by different musical associations throughout the years, what we know today as the New Orleans Opera was founded in 1943. The association has grown to become the premier organization for opera in the Gulf Shore area. 

Each season the New Orleans Opera presents four mainstage operas as well as a live performance for schools in the area, a variety of educational programs, free public performances and opera education lectures. As part of their mission to uphold the tradition and prevalence of opera in modern society, the New Orleans Opera has developed additional programs to foster a greater awareness of the art. All of the opera productions are sung in their original language with English translations projected above the stage. The New Orleans Opera’s repertoire covers classic 19th and 20th-century operas with the occasional contemporary American opera. With New Orleans Opera tickets, you can come witness a timeless art form presented by one of the best opera companies in the country.

However, opera concerts are often held in theatres which can hold large numbers of concert-goers. A venue such as the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center in New York City holds nearly 4,000 guests across its six major seating sections. The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles has four tiers of seating and is able to accommodate 3,156 seats to choose for that perfect seat.

Orchestra, box seating, grand tier, dress circle and balcony sections may all be offered at a venue near you. As a general rule, those who hope for clear central views of the stage may be better served with front-of-mezzanine seats over those in the rear orchestra, as the mezzanine often overhangs the lower level.
