welcome to OPERA LAFAYETTE

Hailed as "enterprising" by The New York Times, and "one of the most creatively game and artistically sound operations in the business" by The Washington Post, Opera Lafayette is the pre-eminent American interpreter and producer of period-instrument opera from the 17th through the 19th centuries and an international leader in this repertoire. Based on meticulous research and the creation of modern performing editions, the company’s compelling performances and recordings of rediscovered gems and historical masterpieces highlight the works’ original appeal and introduce a new generation to their contemporary relevance.​
