We are the only continuously active professional opera company on the African continent. 

Celebrating 25 years in 2024, Cape Town Opera's vision is to sustainably produce opera of the highest artistic standard, thereby safeguarding opera as part of South Africa’s cultural heritage and providing an aspirational internationally recognized and enduring platform for Africa’s world-class singing and creative talent.

The organization's schedule features a diverse and thrilling repertoire, encompassing opera, operetta, and musicals. It is dedicated to providing unparalleled skills development and hands-on training to aspiring young artists from various regions in the country. Cape Town Opera’s 2024 programming will be balanced and strategic, with a stellar line-up of singers for onstage operas in theatre and unconventional stages.

Equally important are our Youth Development and Education program. We continue to invest in our youth and ensure that they have the opportunity to pursue professional careers in the performing arts.
