Program

Opera Conference

OPERA America’s annual Opera Conference is the largest assembly of opera administrators, artists, trustees, and associates in the world.

Hosted by one of our Professional Company Members, hundreds of stakeholders convene in a different location each spring for discussions, networking, and performances that move opera forward.

Opera Conference 2024 | June 5–8
World Opera Forum | June 3–5

OPERA America welcomes the international opera community to Los Angeles — June 3-8, 2024 — for a week-long, global gathering of opera administrators, artists, trustees, and advocates.

The second-ever World Opera Forum and the annual North American Opera Conference, hosted by LA Opera, focus the industry on making a case for opera in the 21st century.

The week will be filled with debate, discussion, and networking — at the conclusion of which participants will leave with new insights, ideas, and relationships that circle the globe.

The World Opera Forum is a collaboration of OPERA America, Opera Europa, Ópera Latinoamérica, and the Association for Opera in Canada.
