Opera Unlimited seeks to promote appreciation and understanding of music, especially opera, by introducing it to school-aged children throughout New Mexico. Upon request, we present professional opera performances to elementary schools and libraries across the state.


In 1990 a group of professional educators, musicians, and theatrical  performers founded Opera Unlimited in the mutual concern that children  were lacking more and more in an acquaintance with opera. Unique in our  approach, Opera Unlimited is the only non-profit performance company  dedicated to the children of the New Mexico. 

Outreach Performance

Each year we operate an outreach program which is available throughout  New Mexico. This program offers operas specifically designed to fit into  the schedule of the schools and libraries we visit while remaining fun  and exciting for the children with a question and answer period if time  allows after the performance. Opera Unlimited has performed to over 50  schools and libraries, and 22,000 children annually. Presently we are touring Jack and the Beanstalk, Aesop's Fables, and Three Billy Goats Gruff.  For more information or to schedule a performance please contact our Outreach Performance Coordinator Warren Wilgus at (505) 219-1998 or operaunlimitednm@gmail.com.

2021 Summer Opera Day Camp

For the past 19 years, Opera Unlimited  has conducted a summer camp that educated children in the many aspects  of music and theater by producing an operetta, that is presented to the  public at the end of camp. Due to COVID-19, we were unable to hold an  in-person camp in 2020. Instead, we had a virtual camp where the  participants learned all about how to become a character including how  to use their bodies when acting and singing, and how to use make-up and  costume to define their character. They also learned what it is like to  be a professional Gilbert & Sullivan actor in New York City and how a  musician writes and opera.


We expect to resume a "normal" summer opera camp in 2021, which will feature Hans Krasa's Brundibar, and Gilbert & Sullivan's Trial By Jury. Further details can be seen at 2021 Summer Opera Day Camp Information. For further information about the 2021 Summer Opera Day Camp, please contact Cy Hoffman at choffman9@comcast.net.
