As we close the curtain on our 25–26 season, we are filled with gratitude for everyone who made it possible: our incredible artists, musicians, partners, and most importantly, YOU, our audience. “As our first full season planned together as Executive and Artistic Directors, this year has felt especially significant. Our co-production with the FM Symphony was a powerful reminder of what live performance can do - how the music doesn’t just surround you, but lives within you, felt deeply and collectively. It is remarkable to witness what can happen when artists, musicians, and community come together in this way. I am so grateful we get to share something so wonderful with you.” - Regina Thiel, Executive Director. From powerful performances to first time collaborations, this season has been one to remember! Stay tuned… our next season announcement is coming soon, and we can’t wait to share what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of the Fargo-Moorhead Opera family.
