About Us
WHO WE ARE:
The Midwest Lyric Opera Company (MLO), a company of enthusiastic, devoted, volunteer singers in Missouri and Illinois, dedicated to keeping the art of opera singing alive.
WHERE:
St. Louis and the Midwest Region (Missouri and Illinois).
MISSION:
Our purpose is to bring opera, operetta and vocal performances to the community providing opportunities for area musicians and artists to develop their skills and talents.
OUR GOAL:
To offer a studio environment that provides professional experience and training:
- for singers moving from music schools to emerging musical careers who are in need of opera stage experience and exposure,
- for experienced artists with training who desire more local performance opportunities,
- for community residents to become involved in and enthusiastic about the cultural, education and entertainment significance of the operatic experience.
PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD COMMENTS:
In this day and age of electronic music and instant stardom in the pop musical world, being an opera singer seems old fashioned, but the art of opera is not dead! After all the hard work of producing a concert or recital or production, how can I describe to you the thrill and satisfaction we here at MLO have? All I can say to you is come and join us!
