The Baltimore Opera Company filed for bankruptcy Tuesday.

Deborah Goetz, senior director of marketing and communications for the 58-year-old company, said the board of trustees voted last week to file for Chapter 11 protection.

The company has struggled as ticket sales and donations have dwindled. The last two productions of the season, “The Barber of Seville” and “Porgy and Bess,” have been canceled.

Tickets won’t be refunded.

Goetz said the company plans to continue raising money for future productions.
