The Founders
Creating Something New
Taylor and Tanis Gonzaga met in college studying music together. Following their graduation and engagement, Taylor began envisioning an innovative career path in the arts with a mission to create an empowering space for emerging artists and local talent. Taking on the roles of artistic director and executive producer, Taylor and Tanis used their own expertise and resources to bring Opera Cecilia to life.
"An amazingly creative production with beautiful voices."
- Judy (audience member)- Orfeo ed Euridice

Love Letters To The Arias I Fear
At Opera Cecilia, we believe in producing operatic works in new and innovative ways. To continue our second season, we are excited to announce the upcoming premiere of a new digital art film, presented by artistic director and founder Taylor Gonzaga. This work incorporates stunning natural scenery, honest and heartfelt poetry, and five iconic arias from the lyric soprano canon, and serves as a harrowing commentary on the emerging artists experience. Through this project we hope all fellow artists get one important message: that you are never alone.
"Thoroughly enjoyed this enchanting performance."
- Julia (audience member)- Orfeo ed Euridice
