The Ohio Light Opera


History & Information

For 43 years, the Ohio Light Opera (OLO) has produced high quality operettas and musical comedy. You can see classic productions by Gilbert and Sullivan or more modern shows like South Pacific and Carousel. 

With 141 show titles currently on their credits, the OLO has a world-class reputation. Their mission is "to preserve, promote and produce the best operettas and musicals ever written, and to do them in respectful and traditional settings." 

In future seasons, the company hopes to honor their existing mission and broaden their audience base with time-honored productions. 

The Ohio Light Opera is supported by the College of Wooster as well as a large list of generous private donors who give to their annual fund.
