Under the leadership of Martha Dick McClung, director of Opera Theater at Birmingham-Southern College, the company's first production was Smetana's The Bartered Bride, followed by Puccini's Madama Butterfly the following year. Since then, the Opera has produced over 50 different operas, and has brought hundreds of the best operatic performers from all over the world to Birmingham's artistic doorstep.After merging with Southern Regional Opera in 1986, the company became Birmingham Opera Theater for its 1987 season, and finally Opera Birmingham in 1996. The current General Director, John D. Jones, has led the Opera into its fifth decade.
