Formed in 2007, OPAS is a nonprofit cultural arts organization which brings top
quality live music, theatre and dance performances to the Lake Oconee region
- an area possessing unparalleled natural beauty, antebellum treasures, scenic
lake and golf resources, easy travel accessibility, and a diverse population
that hails from around the globe. Performances take place on the waterfront
at Lake Oconee, in Eatonton's newly transformed Plaza Arts Center, at The
Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Harbor Club's Polo Arena and a variety of other area
venues (and soon in downtown Greensboro's Festival Hall). From under the
stage lights to under the stars, OPAS's performances embrace both the
traditions of the past and the vibrant artistry of the future.
OPAS opened it first season in December 2007 with a superb production of
the Christmas opera favorite,
Amahl and the Night Visitors. The 2008 schedule
included a balance of international, national and regional live performances of
classical music, ballet, jazz, opera, musical comedy, pop, country, gospel,
cabaret and children's performances. Education and outreach programs
complement each season, reaching thousands of young students annually
through
Concerts in the Schools.
