Welcome

Dear Kansans and Visitors,

With a joyful heart for all the people who have attended our performances, and to all those attending their first night of opera, I welcome you to Wichita Grand Opera’s 6th International Season, the Season of the Stars!

Our terrific blend of grand opera and ballet promises to have something for everyone. The stars we have engaged for your enjoyment are among the best in the world, performing in New York, Paris, London, Berlin, and Vienna.

We are honored to welcome back superstar and Kansas native Samuel Ramey along with golden-toned Mexican tenor Hector Sandoval, who delighted WGO’s audiences last season. We are also thrilled to bring Italian superstar Marcello Giordani to Wichita for the first time. Singing opposite our dashing men are beautiful leading ladies: Svetla Vassileva, European phenomenon; Kallen Esperian, one of America’s most-admired sopranos; and Zvetelina Vassileva, the electrifying Verdi soprano. Furthermore, we are privileged to host the two supreme ballet companies of Russia: the St. Petersburg Ballet and Moscow’s Russian National Ballet Theatre.

We know you will be exhilarated by the glorious music, drama, and dance that will thrill your soul and touch your heart with a passion unmatched by any other art form. Celebrate with us the infinite range of human emotion, portrayed through powerful music, fabulous voices, passionate drama, and stunning sets, coming together to make magic on the stages of the Wichita Grand Opera. I encourage you to purchase your Season Tickets now and receive savings up to 20 percent off the regular ticket price and take advantage of this great opportunity to enjoy the best of opera and ballet right here at home.

With best regards,


Parvan Bakardiev
