Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre

Founded in 1998 by Daniel Kleinknecht, Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre presents two to three operas each season as well as several special events. International artists as well as American artists are featured singers in our productions. Our Young Artist Program, first started in June of 2002, continues to offer college and university-trained singers an opportunity to sing smaller roles in main-stage performances and to participate in the opera chorus. Opera outreach performances are also offered by the Young Artists.
