About City Opera
New York City Opera was founded in 1943 to provide financially accessible opera performances to a wide audience—opera that would reflect the company's commitment to innovative repertory choices and the development of American opera.
Accessibility
With the populist mayor Fiorello LaGuardia among its founders, City Opera was dubbed "the people's opera company." Ticket prices have always reflected the company's initial commitment to making the finest opera available, regardless of the prospective audience member's economic status. To this day, targeted promotions, custom subscription packages, and always-reasonable individual ticket prices have made City Opera a viable option for the widest possible audience. In 1983, City Opera pioneered the use of supertitles in this country, opening up the art form to countless millions who might otherwise be averse to the idea of foreign language librettos.
HISTORY
Since its founding in 1943, New York City Opera has been recognized as one of the country's premiere cultural institutions, acclaimed for its dynamic and varied repertory of 273 works, its pioneering role in creating an American operatic repertory through the world premieres of 28 American operas, and its unrivaled mentorship and promotion of young singers, directors and conductors. Indeed, City Opera was the first opera house in the country to actively seek out American artists, build a repertory on their talents, nurture their growth, and take a stake in their success. The company's uncompromising commitment to discovering and nurturing has helped launch the careers of more than 3,000 artists, many of whom have gone on to major careers on the world operatic stage. Here follows a sampling of some highlights of City Opera’s history.
