WHO’S OPERA ON TAP?

Opera on Tap was born in 2005 at Freddy’s Bar and Backroom in Brooklyn and incorporated in 2006 to promote opera as a viable, living and progressive art form and to support the developing artists who continue to keep the art form alive. What began as a small monthly gathering of ambitious, classically trained singers looking for more performance opportunities, has grown into a producing organization that has gained a loyal audience base and national recognition as an innovative force on the classical music scene. Through its Chapter program, which now has 25 vibrant national (and international) chapters, OOT has created a large network of performers, creators, and supporters. Beyond singing in bars and other alternative venues to concert halls, Opera on Tap creates Playground Operas with elementary-school-aged public school students and commissions and produces cutting-edge new works of opera.  You can check out our VR Opera HERE.
