Hometown Opera Company

10/10/2026

THE WAIT IS OVER.

We’re excited to announce that Hometown Opera is becoming Rochester Opera.

Our new name reflects our vision for the future of opera in Rochester and the next chapter of our organization.

While our new website and full brand transition are still underway, we’re excited to begin introducing Rochester Opera to our community.

Same passion. Same artists. Same commitment to our community.
A new name. A new chapter.
