Skylark Opera theatre offers new and traditional repertoire performed with a modernized perspective in site-specific and cutting-edge venues.

With a reimagined focus on innovative, intimate and accessible Opera, Skylark Opera theatre staged critically acclaimed productions of "the tragedy of carmen and "don giovanni" in 2017, "as one" in 2018 and "cosi fan tutte and "the most happy fella" in 2019, "amahl and the night visitors"" in 2021 and "eugene onegin" in 2022.skylark Opera theatre is based in st. paul and produces work in both st. paul and minneapolis, minnesota.skylark provides a series of mini-concerts at senior residences throughout the twin cities throughout fall and winter. "Skylark for seniors" premiered in the fall of 2020 as an opportunity to relieve some of the isolation felt by seniors impacted by the restrictions placed on them (and all of us) during the coronavirus pandemic. It was truly heartwarming to see and feel the joy and appreciation our audiences had for the music and the performers. Skylark Opera theatre has been asked to present even more performances and we welcome the invitations to bring music and its healing powers to twin cities seniors.
