Founded in September 1995, we have performed 28 fully-orchestrated and fully-staged operas to date. Our usual performing home is the Colonial Theatre in Keene, NH, but we have also performed at the Peterborough Players, Peterborough Town House and the Keene State College Recital Hall. Our Mission is to share our passion for opera -- to perform high quality productions, sung primarily in English to make them enjoyable and accessible to New Hampshire audiences, and to young opera-goers in particular. We are proud to be the only opera entity in New Hampshire devoted to providing a stage for the vocal and artistic talents of artists from this region, and pleased to play a role in developing the vocal and stagecraft talents of student performers.
Nearly 25,000 people have attended our performances to date, and a further 3,000 area school children have attended our opera workshops and mini-performances. With help from Colonial Theatre advertising, we reach out to a potential audience of over 40,000 music lovers from southwestern New Hampshire, southeastern Vermont and the northern tier of Massachusetts.
Raylynmor board members and advisors represent many of the Monadnock area towns such as Peterborough, Keene, Dublin, Stoddard and Swanzey. A tax-exempt, non-profit company, we are supported by donations from individuals, businesses and corporations throughout the region. We have received grants from the Gilbert Verney Foundation, Putnam Foundation, the Hoffman Family Foundation, the Badger Foundation, the Goyette Fund and the Monadnock Community Foundation -- a division of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.
