What is Intermountain Opera?
Intermountain Opera Bozeman (IOB) is dedicated to fostering community and collaboration through world-class opera, musical theatre, and educational engagement. The organization produces three professional mainstage productions annually, including a lesser-known opera to attract new audiences, a musical theatre production, and a large-scale classic opera. IOB actively involves professional guest artists and local talent, while also prioritizing educational outreach to schoolchildren and visiting local choir classrooms at no cost. A significant initiative, "Wheels of Harmony," was launched in 2023 to share Indigenous music and contemporary works by Native American composers with students in rural and tribal communities across Montana, reaching nearly 2,000 students. The company is deeply committed to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, striving to eliminate inequalities and embrace underrepresented individuals within its institution and artistic productions.
