Welcome to the official site of
The Opera Collective,
- the people’s opera -
making opera accessible to everyone!
We are a group of professional opera singers based in New York City, seeking to make opera accessible to all by presenting engaging events of vocal music, including opera, art song, operetta and musical theater, in unorthodox spaces in and around New York City.
We began in 2005 by partnering with the MTA and Music Under New York (MUNY) to bring exciting performances to some of NYC’s busiest stations and transportation hubs. Today, we have expanded beyond the subway, performing with different partners not only throughout the city but also online, catering to a growing global audience of fans.
