The company will afford trained opera singers, actors, and instrumentalists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area the experience and exposure necessary for a musical career. To help young people appreciate opera, it will present short operas in area schools. A long-range goal is to present operas and operettas in towns without access to opera so that more people can appreciate this unique art form.
