Welcome to our world of kings and queens, heroes and villains, passionate love, intense drama, and the inextinguishable power of the human spirit. This is Sarasota Opera. Described by Musical America as 'one of the finest venues for opera in the United States.'
Founded in 2003, the Master Chorale of South Florida is the region's only large-scale, auditioned chorus, presenting ambitious choral music rarely heard in South Florida.

Spanning five generations and reflecting the diverse backgrounds of South Florida, these voices come together to connect generations, inspire audiences, and sustain a living choral tradition.
