Organizational Profile

As the premiere champion for opera in North America, OPERA America is focused on moving opera forward as an industry and an art form. OPERA America was founded in 1970 in Washington, D.C. with an original focus to support K-12 learning and investment in the creation and production of American operas. In 1990, the organization merged with the National Opera Institute and Central Opera Service, absorbing their programs and resources to include professional development and research. OPERA America relocated to New York City in 2005 in order to improve member service, and in 2012, the National Opera Center, a custom-designed facility, was opened.
