We Invite You to Get Involved
Wichita Grand Opera encourages interested community members and prospective artists to get involved with our organization in the way that best suits each individual ’s interests and abilities.
An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I've left the opera house.
Maria Callas
