Israeli Opera, National opera company in Tel Aviv, Israel
The Israeli Opera is an opera company in Tel Aviv that performs classic and contemporary works at the Tel Aviv Performing Arts Center throughout the year. The orchestra accompanies all productions with surtitles in Hebrew and English to reach audiences.
The company was founded in 1985 after the Israel National Opera closed, emerging from a partnership between the Cameri Theatre and the Israel Chamber Orchestra. This collaboration marked the restart of professional opera in the country.
The company performs works in Hebrew and English, creating a space where local audiences experience both traditional and modern operatic traditions together. This approach connects the art form to the community it serves.
Visitors should know that surtitles in Hebrew and English accompany all shows, making it easy to follow the story regardless of language background. It helps to check the current season schedule ahead of time and plan transportation to the performing arts center.
The company brings operas to unusual locations like Masada, where the natural landscape becomes part of the performance itself. These outdoor productions blend the classical art form with Israel's striking geography.
