Stay Connected: Join the Alumni Directory

All the alumni tools in this section help serve our goal of reconnecting with you and keeping you connected with each other, but one in particular — the Alumni Directory — can make it easier for all future HCO alumns and students to have access to each other’s information without relying on us to hold events and keep track of updates. If you would like to be listed in the Alumni Directory (which has three levels of optionality for custom privacy and visibility preferences, i.e. alumni, students, and public), please fill out the intake form below.

HCO presents one full-length opera each February with an entirely student cast and production team. In 2024, HCO presented Verdi’s Falstaff. Auditions for cast and orchestra are held at the beginning of every academic year.

Harvard College Opera aims to make opera accessible to our local and campus communities. HCO provides an invaluable opportunity for undergraduates wishing to engage in opera production and performance. HCO hosts a variety of free events throughout the year, including recitals, masterclasses, opera screenings, and performances in Harvard’s annual ARTS FIRST festival.
