Opera in the Ozarks grew from a Fine Arts camp held during the summer 1950. Its founders quickly decided to focus on opera and music drama, and after decades of tweaking and fine-tuning, Opera in the Ozarks was born in 1993. All performers are students, and the alumni of Opera in the Ozarks have performed at all the major opera houses in the world.
