ABOUT SARASOTA OPERA
Sarasota Opera is celebrating its 60th Season of bringing world-class opera to Florida’s
Gulf Coast. The company was launched in 1960, when a touring chamber opera
company came to the historic 320-seat Asolo Theater on the grounds of Sarasota’s
Ringling Museum of Art. The following year the Asolo Opera Guild was formed to
present the season. By 1974 the Asolo Opera was mounting its own productions at the
theater. Recognizing the need for a theater more conducive to full-scale opera, the
company purchased the former A.B. Edwards Theater which in 1984 (as the Sarasota
Opera House) became home to the newly renamed Sarasota Opera. The building
underwent a $20 million renovation and rehabilitation in 2007 enhancing audience
amenities, while updating the technical facilities, including increasing the size
of the orchestra pit. The theater, which reopened in March 2008, has been called
“one of America’s finest venues for opera” by Musical America.
