ABOUT US
Inland Northwest Opera (formerly Opera CDA and Opera Plus) is the only professional opera company serving Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington with world-renowned talent and emerging artists in the opera world, often rivaling other larger companies in the northwest with our productions.
​
We create opera to be a part of life in the region - whether we're in the theater, at the lake, or in accessible community venues. Along with our Mainstage opera, the company presents Opera on the Lake on Lake Coeur d'Alene and our educational outreach program Opera-tunities, in area schools. Watch for our Opera Truck in a park or neighborhood near you! We seek to inspire an appreciation for opera among all ages and backgrounds.
​
Our discounted ticket programs reach students, seniors, military, and educators to allow this powerful and transforming art form to be accessible to a wide audience.
