ABOUT
New Wave Opera (NWO) believes that opera is a living art form and that new works best represent the variety of stories, experiences, and identities of NWO’s performers and audiences. Their productions uplift composers, librettists, and performers of diverse backgrounds and experiences, while investing heavily in the rich talent pool of our region. New Wave Opera is especially committed to emphasizing treble voices, which are largely underused in standard opera repertoire, and fostering a professional, welcoming, and healthy creative environment for all voice types and identities. They believe opera can be for everyone, and are eager to showcase all that the world of opera is capable of encompassing.
