In 2010, Capital Opera Raleigh and the Opera Company merged, forming the North Carolina Opera. Star conductors, art directors and musicians comprise what is now the best of the best version of this organization, and that means that every time the opera is on, you'll see and hear top notch performances.
The Got to be NC Festival is slated for every May and is held at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. The festival lives up to its title, as it aims to celebrate North Carolina's cultural heritage.
