The Florida State University College of Music is proud of a long tradition of excellence. For more than eighty years FSU has offered a high level of professional education in music; it was one of the originators of the doctoral degree in music performance; and for over thirty years it has been one of the most comprehensive and most respected music schools in the nation.
The College of Music is a vital component of the Florida State University community. It serves as a center of excellence for the cultural development of the State and offers a comprehensive program of instruction for all students who expect to become professional musicians: performers, composers, scholars, educators, administrators, and therapists. For the general University student, it offers a wide spectrum of opportunities for disciplined personal growth and creative achievement.
If you're an opera fan, we urge you to join us for a wonderful season of fun, laughter and high spirits. If you're new to opera, this is the perfect time to open your ears, your eyes. Come discover what all the singing is about!
Mission Statement
Florida State Opera at The Florida State University College of Music is dedicated to serving the professionally-oriented student, the musical and scholastic life of the University and the cultural vitality of the immediate geographic area.
Its primary aim is to identify and unlock the potential of the student singer, coach/accompanist and stage director, equipping him or her with a secure technical foundation in all areas vital to the development of a successful and fulfilling professional life in opera/music-theater: drama and movement, musical styles and diction, range of repertoire, production methods, stage experience, career orientation and promotion. Additionally Florida State Opera aims to instill a love and respect for other music theater forms and their component parts and for the artists and craftspersons who practice them, to inspire a strong sense of the artist’s role in the community and to emphasize the values of self-motivation and strong artistic goals.
Florida State Opera stresses the importance of its visibility as a performance resource not only to the University, but also to the Greater Tallahassee community and beyond. As such it is the particular mission of the Opera to explore the scope and variety of the vast body of work comprising the repertory and, in so doing, to create and provide stimulating and vital productions; professional in quality, strong in musical and theatrical values and rich in imagination.
Florida State Opera seeks, in addition, to provide that community with performances and other activities designed to foster interest in opera and related music-theater forms; developing new audiences, stimulating the current opera-going public and introducing school-aged children to its myriad rewards.
Nationally distinguished as one of the most comprehensive schools of its kind among public institutions, the Florida State University College of Music has offered a high level of professional education in music for more than 80 years. If you expect to become a professional musician, you will gain creative and personal growth in programs designed to create composers, performers, scholars, and teachers.
The College of Music is headquarters to a variety of campus orchestras, bands, choral ensembles, jazz bands, and early music and baroque ensembles; 14 world music ensembles; and numerous chamber groups, as well as the Florida State Opera and the Music Theater Program. Each year the College of Music offers some 350 concerts and productions and regularly hosts national conventions, workshops, and festivals, such as the biennial Festival of New Music.
Our rich heritage is important in providing us a certain perspective about quality and an incentive to strive for continuing excellence. But the real test of our future is what we do for you, the future students who will grace our rehearsal halls, classrooms, and studios. We seek students, at all levels, who are dedicated to achieving the best for themselves in their professional preparation. We seek students who will contribute to the rich and diverse musical environment at Florida State. And we want students who will appreciate the warm and friendly personality of our school.
