Opera Tampa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Now entering its 12th season, Opera Tampa is the resident opera company of the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Opera Tampa produces and presents grand opera. The elaborate, full-scale productions feature international performers, the full Opera Tampa Orchestra and the 50-60-member Opera Tampa Chorus, all under the direction of world-renowned composer-conductor Anton Coppola.
Opera Tampa performs in The Center’s spectacular Carol Morsani Hall, which was designed as a classic horseshoe opera house in the style of the grand opera houses of Europe. The remarkable, near perfect acoustics in Morsani Hall were designed by Russell Johnson, one of today’s finest acousticians.
