In 2005, professional opera singers, Chris and Sasha Holloway, founded the performing arts company “Opera Leggera” (light opera) in Kingwood, Texas. With the desire to present the world's most beautiful music to the North Houston community, Chris and Sasha created a unique musical theatre that would present a diverse repertoire that spans the styles of opera, operetta, pop, Broadway, & American/international classic standards.
These exciting musical extravaganzas have become the quality entertainment enjoyed by the entire community. Each Opera Leggera production is original and presented by a cast of singers, dancers, actors, and musicians, professional and amateur alike. Through the years, Opera Leggera has produced 17 shows and counting, among which audience favorites include "Holiday Enchantment," "Our Song is here to Stay," and "There Ain't Nothin' Like a Dame."
Opera Leggera is also dedicated to providing a professional and educational atmosphere for aspiring artists. It is Opera Leggera's goal to transform theatre-goer's appreciation of music and theatre into a life-long passion.
Our mission at Opera Leggera is to produce original musical/theatrical productions that preserve cultural values and enrich audiences of all ages and backgrounds while providing professional singers, musicians, dancers, and actors the opportunity to perform in a professional theatrical setting alongside local talents in a collaborative, educational, and inspiring atmosphere.
