About Opera Theatre of Saint Louis

Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL) is known for its local impact, national presence, and global resonance.

Every year, we produce a spring festival season of inventive new productions sung in English and accompanied by the Grammy Award-winning St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Performances take place in the intimate Loretto-Hilton Center and audiences gather in the surrounding gardens for pre-show picnics and post-show champagne with artists.

Opera Theatre has a long tradition of discovering the finest young singers and promoting the work of living American librettists and composers. As of the 2022 Festival Season, Opera Theatre will have presented 33 world premieres — which may be the highest percentage of new work in the repertory of any U.S. company.
