About Us
Founded in 1998 by Daniel Kleinknecht, Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre presents two to three operas each season as well as several special events. American artists and international artists are featured singers in our productions.
Our Young Artist Program, first started in 2002, continues to offer college and university-educated students of vocal performance an opportunity to sing comprimario roles in mainstage performances and to participate in the opera chorus. Opera outreach performances are also offered by the Young Artists.
