In the last 2–3 years the company has presented multiple major season productions and digital projects while continuing community-engagement initiatives and partnerships with local arts organizations and schools. Opera Parallèle maintains an active web presence and public financial filings, and its IRS EIN (72-1584393) matches public nonprofit registries and the organization’s own site.
