Founded in 1998 by Dr. Daniel Kleinknecht, the Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre presents two to three operas each season for over 7,000 audience members and community school students, as well as special events. An Opera America member, the company typically features American artists in its productions.
Presented in collaboration with the National Czech & Slovak Museum and Library, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka tells the tale of a mermaid in love with a human prince.
