Baltimore Concert Opera

Treat yourself to the unfiltered beauty of the human voice.

Baltimore Concert Opera welcomes opera enthusiasts and future opera fans to experience timeless music and stories which bring us all together. Our concert format -- just singers, piano, and projected English translation -- makes the complex operatic art form immediately accessible for our patrons. BCO celebrates the thrilling connection between the audience and the stage by offering performances by top-flight professional opera singers in an intimate, up-close environment. Inspired by the beauty of the historic Engineers Club and legendary music, our patrons leave entertained, moved, and enriched.

Since 2009, we have grown from an all-volunteer company with just $750 in the bank, to a sustainable, vibrant non-profit organization with an annual operating budget of $250,000. Throughout each season, Baltimore Concert Opera continues to further the art form in Baltimore and beyond. We offer a balance of classic repertoire and rarely heard operatic gems. We form artistic collaborations with other opera companies, making BCO’s performances more musically invested and expansive. Perhaps most vitally, we cultivate the next generation of opera-goers through our new audience-building initiatives.
