City Lyric Opera redefines the way opera is perceived and produced. We provide affordable, timely opera for the New York City community with a commitment to productions that put artists first, ensuring a welcoming experience both on and offstage.

City Lyric Opera changes the landscape of opera in New York City. We believe artists deserve a welcoming and collaborative environment in which to rehearse, perform and grow. We provide artists with a safe place to refine their craft, giving audiences a world-class performance experience that enriches the artist’s full capacity and spectrum of creativity, both musically and theatrically.

As a Women-Founded and led organization, City Lyric Opera prioritizes providing opportunities to all artists through a lens of inclusion and developing a sense of belonging to create a home for all artists within the operatic community. Through this initiative, the art in which we produce becomes stronger and more impactful for artists and audiences alike.

The creation of City Lyric Opera was inspired by the many talented artists of New York City. We pride ourselves in creating paid, kind, collaborative spaces for ideas, innovation, and creativity within the New York City operatic community. 

In our modern society, opera is often seen as irrelevant and dated. City Lyric Opera changes this stereotype by redefining the operatic experience. We believe that great opera takes audience members to the depths of the human experience, and through questioning and contemplating the significance of a particular piece, we are able to highlight issues that are still relevant today.

Historically, opera has provided an evening of entertainment and socialization for all people while highlighting social and economical issues of its time. City Lyric Opera dismantles elitism, ensuring that opera is inclusive and for all people, no matter their background or circumstances. CLO provides affordable admission for all, giving everyone the opportunity to experience the operatic art form.
