Opera Montana (formerly Intermountain Opera Bozeman) creates and inspires community and collaboration through world-class opera, musical theatre and educational engagement. IOB produces 3 professional mainstage productions per season: (1) A lesser known or new opera produced on a smaller scale, designed to invite new audiences to the art form; (2) A musical theatre production; and (3) A large scale classic opera. Professional guest artists travel to Montana to perform principal roles and are supported by a chorus made up of local talent. The company also welcomes local schoolchildren to its theatres, and visits local choir classrooms at no cost to schools. 

In 2023, OM launched its first-ever school tour, "Wheels of Harmony" designed to share Indigenous music, traditional opera, and contemporary works composed by Native American composers with Montana schoolchildren in primarily rural and tribal communities. The tour reached nearly 2,000 students from fourteen schools in two weeks.

Opera Montana is committed to the principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in everything we do. This requires our dedication to erase inequalities within our organization and the art we produce. We resolve that our organization will be fully anti-discrimination, embracing all people who have been underrepresented on our stages and within our institution. We will be an opera company that depicts, investigates and celebrates the diverse lives and humanity of people and groups who have suffered discrimination and persecution and do our part to address oppression in the arts that continues to this day.
