Concert Operetta Theater - Philadelphia, PA USA

Concert Operetta Theater's Mission
Founded in 2001

Concert Operetta Theater is dedicated to presenting, preserving, and educating audiences about operetta through professional performances from the Silver and Golden ages of operettas.

A minimalist production concept highlights the story and the music, bringing the production closer to the audience in an intimate setting.

COT is the only performing arts group in the USA that produces operettas in a concert version in new translations or original language. These productions are unique because this type of music does not get performance time on a regular basis in the USA.

In the past nine seasons Concert Operetta Theater has presented sixteen operettas, six which are Philadelphia premieres, and five which are the Philadelphia premiere of a new English translation or new German versions.
