We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• Cincinnati Opera, the nation's second-oldest opera company, presented its 105th anniversary season at historic Music Hall. The company's 2025 Summer Festival spanned June and July and included three mainstage productions featuring renowned singers, the Cincinnati Opera Chorus, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Boychoir, and dancers from Cincinnati Ballet. Repertoire included a new-to-Cincinnati production of Giuseppe Verdi's tragic Rigoletto, a sumptuous production of Giacomo Puccini's timeless classic Tosca, and a brand-new production of the beloved musical Fiddler on the Roof. The season also included Studio Sessions, an intimate series of three cabaret-style performances curated by celebrated opera artists, offering audiences a close-up experience of operatic artistry.Cincinnati Opera extended its reach with low-cost and accessible community programs, including Opera Goes to Church presented in conjunction with local congregations, and a Sensory-Friendly Rehearsal, providing an inclusive opera experience for individuals with sensory sensitivities. Year-round, Cincinnati Opera offers a variety of programs throughout the community designed to engage and connect with students, families, and the opera-curious, inspiring a lifelong love of opera across all ages and backgrounds.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
