Opera Holland Park is a summer opera company which produces annual opera performances staged under a temporary canopy in Holland Park. The venue is fully covered but is open at the sides. The canopy was installed in 1988 and was initially used for a variety of music. Concerns about noise levels led to an increasing focus on opera from 1989, with productions staged by a variety of small opera companies. In 2007, the theatre was expanded by the addition of a spectacular canopy underneath which improved seating and other facilities.

As part of a drive to improve artistic standards "Opera Holland Park" was established in 1996 to produce all future productions, and since then the company has enjoyed major achievements in productions of Iris, and L'arlesiana, and many others. It is now considered one of the most accomplished non-state opera companies in the UK.

Each season around half a dozen operas are staged and there are nearly fifty performances in the season. They are sung in the original language and subtitling is used. The venue and company are famed for a warm informality coupled with serious artistic intent and dedication and The Company often offer free tickets to attendees that are under 18.
