Around for over 60 years, this company regularly features singers from top houses in both America and Europe. All productions are sung in their original language and staged with projected English supertitles. Tickets become scarce when Placido Domingo or Luciano Pavarotti (who made his American debut here in 1965) comes to town. The opera's season runs roughly from November to April, with five performances each week. Performances take place at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, about 40 minutes from downtown Miami.
