Our Values

Artistry

Proudly based in coastal Maine, we bring in world-class artists from across the globe while remaining committed to fostering and showcasing local talent in every aspect of our productions. We take great pride in helping to cultivate the next generation of opera lovers and performers in Maine.

Community

We are lucky to be part of a vibrant summer arts community. We embrace a model of abundance and artistic symbiosis, where every performance and achievement in the artistic ecosystem is celebrated. We strive for excellence in every way, knowing that our own success translates to success for the community as a whole.

History

Fritz Kreisler. The Boston Symphony Orchestra. Leopold Godowski. And many more.

We consider ourselves stewards of the incredibly rich history of classical performance on and around Mount Desert Island. We recognize that our success could never have happened without the talent and dedication of the artists and patrons who came before us.

Nature

We draw inspiration from the timeless beauty of the landscape around us that has inspired visitors and native peoples for centuries. Acadia National Park is a destination for all, and we approach every production with an awareness of and respect for and the cultural significance of the Park on a local, national, and international level.
