Opera del West, helmed by Founder and Musical Director Eve K. Budnick, has brought opera to the MetroWest area, Cape Cod, as well as Boston, and provides an opportunity for young professional singers to tackle exciting roles in intimate settings. Now celebrating its 19th year as a company, Opera del West was started in 2006 with a mission to bring fully staged operas in original languages to the MetroWest suburbs, featuring singers who had finished their graduate degrees at the many conservatories located in New England. Opera del West has performed 34 operas in four languages (Italian, French, German and English) from the musical periods of Baroque to Contemporary.
