Our Mission

Our mission is to engage, excite, and educate through immersive performances that break down barriers and inspire the fans of the future.

New Camerata Opera was founded with the mission of building new audiences for the art form through engaging, exciting and educational productions.  The organization accomplishes this via three main initiatives: full-length operas presented at innovative and daring venues, newly arranged and adapted children’s operas (Opera for Kids), and originally commissioned short operatic films for presentation online (Opera on Film).  It is through these multi-faceted operations that NCO has successfully brought countless new opera lovers into the cultural fold. The organization has been hailed as “the future of opera”, and is one of the most consistently active and present opera companies in New York.

Democratic Statement

New Camerata Opera empowers each member of the company to have a say in all aspects of decision making. This innovative democratic structure promotes greater collaboration, ownership, equality, and diversity -- both on and off stage.
