The COT was founded in 1974 and has since reached hundreds of thousands of people though main stage performances of 18th, 19th and 20th century opera. Brian Dickie was appointed General Director of the company in 1999 and under his leadership, COT has evolved into a company that is young, fresh and colorful. They perform familiar works with fresh interpretations and combine fresh talent with renowned legends.
