Franklin Light Opera’s mission is to bring light opera, operetta, and classic musical theatre to audiences in and around Franklin, Tennessee. We plan to produce and create exciting community-centered productions and concerts, and to offer educational programs for youth and adults. We strive to entertain and bring joy, serving as a source of “light” within the Franklin community.

FLO was founded in 2020 by a group of artists who shared the dream of establishing a new light opera company in Franklin, TN. We hoped to create opportunities for local performers to bring seldom performed classical repertoire to life. Following our Inaugural Concert in 2020, we successfully produced Pauline Viardot’s Cinderella in 2021 and The Best of Gilbert & Sullivan in 2022, both in partnership with the Williamson County Performing Arts Center. September 15-17 2023 we will again be at the WCPAC presenting Gilbert & Sullivan's classic HMS Pinafore. In 2022 we also launched our first educational program, a teen light opera workshop “Topsy Turvy” held at Concordia Arts Academy.

We are grateful for your financial support which will help grow our company!
