For our 2012 season we are proud to present Puccini’s popular La Bohème in July

and in October Menotti’s Help, Help, the Globolinks! will delight children and

adults alike. Tickets for these performances are available online and you can save

you time and money with season tickets! READ MORE ABOUT OUR 2012 SEASON

We finished our 2011 season on November 5, when we presented Little Red Riding

Hood, a children’s opera by S. Barab, at Oehring Auditorium in North Pole. Visiting

Technical Director Chris Reay from Seattle Opera provided tech training for the North

Pole High School theater students working with the production.

We hope you are familiar with the quality of the productions we have brought to

Fairbanks, with highly talented singers and a superb orchestra composed of local

musicians. Along with the established voices we bring from the Metropolitan Opera,

we showcase talented Alaskans who get a chance to perform with experienced

professionals and advance their careers in important ways. You might wonder how

we manage it on our slender budgets. It requires a cooperative community

effort: the work of volunteers and generous contributions from local individuals and

organizations make our operas possible.Fairbanks has impressed a number of well

known singers with our Alaskan hospitality, and that is why they return to sing for

us and why they recommend us to their friends.

Opera is an expensive undertaking, and volunteers cannot do it all. Musicians and

singers need to be paid, halls need to be rented, and then there are airline tickets,

music royalties, costumes, set construction, and many other components. Can you

help Opera Fairbanks with a contribution? We rely on you to help us brighten each

season with beautiful productions. In-kind donations are also very welcome and

may include housing for visiting artists, airline mileage tickets, and many

other services. Donate Now!
