We're Celebrating Our 34th Season in 2020

Delaware Valley Opera 30th Anniversary

Our Mission is to provide opportunities for area talent to study and perform a wide range of opera repertoire; to introduce opera to young people and the general public through performances, workshops and educational programs and to foster collaborations between creative and interpretive artists and technicians.

The Delaware Valley Opera is a member of the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, the Arts Council for Sullivan County, NY. Our address is P.O. Box 505, Callicoon, New York 12723 and phone (845) 887-3083.

The DVO has been in residence each summer at the Tusten Theatre since 1991. A town-owned, former movie house, the Tusten Theatre is located at 210 Bridge Street in Narrowsburg, and is managed by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.

We were so pleased with the turn out at our Season Opener GALA on Saturday, June 22.

Our audience joined us at the Delaware Youth Center in Callicoon, New York for an evening of music and good food as we showcased some of the incredible talent the DVO has to offer. Offering a tasty buffet that appeal to the appetite, along with a taste of the season’s upcoming productions to whet your musical appetite for the upcoming productions to follow close on the heels of our season kick off event!
