In service to the community, our goal is to expand civic practice to build partnerships with organizations that serve central Ohio, working together to create programming that celebrates and represents the culture and voices of our diverse community. At Opera Columbus, we seek to build relationships that lead to exciting new programs and performances that give voice to the broadest range of traditions and perspectives in our community.

Through our partnerships and programming, we will strengthen our community by building inclusive opportunities for artistic expression that incorporates opera with art forms and cultural traditions to create performances and programs that are relevant and representative of our entire community. Through this initiative, we thrive to demonstrate that opera and Opera Columbus is for everyone, and invite all in our community to “Make it Yours.”
