The Augusta Opera, located in Augusta, Georgia, was the oldest opera company in the southern United States. Unfortunately, due to financial issues, it ceased operations in 2009 but made a comeback in 2010, performing at smaller venues to make up for its debts. Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Georgia Council for the Arts, the Augusta Opera showcased operatic excellence through internationally acclaimed artists and local talent.
With a diverse repertoire ranging from French to Italian to Broadway productions, the Augusta Opera captivated audiences with its performances of renowned works such as La Tragedie de Carmen and Pagliacci. The company also had a tradition of performing at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, featuring the Augusta Opera Chorus and Orchestra, as well as the esteemed Augusta Children's Chorale. Despite its challenges, the Augusta Opera aimed to provide a spot of happily-ever-aftering for opera enthusiasts in the region.
