The Chaminade Opera Group was founded in 1959, and is the only community opera group in New England to have survived for over 40 years. The organization is highly respected throughout New England (particularly in Boston and Providence) for high performance levels. The group annually performs a fully-staged, fully-orchestrated opera. Performances have included Bizet's Carmen, Verdi's La Traviata, Puccini's Turandot, Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado, and many others. Programs are presented in the Attleboro, Massachusetts area.
