Calling all Opera aficionados! Stop by and see why there is much to enjoy during your visit to the El Paso Opera where everyone wants you to make the most of your opera experience of the engaging sounds of leitmotif, aria and cadenzas. You will find breathtaking and inspiring performances of classic works and nuanced ensembles by familiar and up and coming composers. The diverting mission of El Paso Opera is to bring professional opera productions that are understandable, accessible, and enjoyable to all residents, to sponsor educational programs that will introduce both youth and adult populations to the world of great vocal music. Here you will recognize that opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in the imagination.  

El Paso has a must-visit spot on its list: the International Museum of Art, located in the city's historic Rio Grande District. The Museum is in a Victorian-style mansion designed and completed in the early 1900s. Its humble beginnings can be traced back to 1925 when the first display cases showcased a collection of books, pottery, tapestries, and other unique items. Over time, the International Museum became a center for women's contributions to the war effort. It also began displaying more eclectic items such as mineral samples, clothing, and pottery. Eventually, the Museum became home to the priceless Kress Collection of Fine Art. Today, the International Association for the Visual Arts operates the International Museum, which houses collections worldwide.
