Livermore Valley Opera was founded in 1992, and presents fully-staged operas at the Bankhead Theater in the spring and fall. The theater we call home is located in the Tri-Valley area, just 45 miles east of San Francisco. Our wonderful “opera house” features excellent lines of sight and acoustics, helping us attract talented singers and stage directors. [MAP]

We combine the talents of professional musicians, stage directors, principal singers, and designers with the dedication and practical abilities of volunteers filling such critical roles as board members, chorus, stage crew, and set builders to reach our artistic goals.

Livermore Valley Opera is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization.
