Opera San José

[citation needed] Initially performances took place in the Montgomery Theater in San Jose's Civic Auditorium complex until 2004 when productions moved to the newly-restored historical California Theatre.

Larry Hancock served as the General Director from 2014 until his retirement in 2019,[3] at which point he introduced arts administrator Khori Dastoor as his successor.

[6] Lucey's appointment as the fourth General Director in Opera San José's history would begin in January 2022, midway through the company's 38th season,[7] overseeing productions of Bizet's Carmen and Bernstein's West Side Story as well as the return of the Irene Dalis Vocal Competition.

Casting for this celebrated work included mezzo-soprano Nikola Printz as Dido, baritone Efraín Solís as Aeneas, soprano Maya Kherani as Belinda, bass-baritone Nathan Stark as the Sorcerer, and dancers from San José Dance Theatre.

In June 2020, Opera San José unveiled its plans to create the Heiman Digital Media Studio,[9] a new performance/film space that enables the company to stream fully produced operatic performances into the living room of patrons.

During their tenure, members of the resident company perform leading roles in mainstage productions and participate in school and community-wide educational activities.
