Now in its 49th season, Opera Philadelphia stands at the forefront of innovation, redefining opera for our time. As the region's premier opera producer and one of the country's most influential companies, Opera Philadelphia continues to expand and transform as a vibrant hub for operatic experiences, connecting audiences and artists in ways that give voice to the present, reimagine the past, and shape the future of the art form for generations to come. Founded as a regional company focused on traditional productions in a single venue, Opera Philadelphia has evolved into an internationally celebrated trailblazer in contemporary opera. Praised byThe New York Timesas a "hotbed of operatic innovation," the company remains committed to 21st-century opera while actively performing in its original home at the historic Academy of Music. Opera Philadelphia also creates interdisciplinary experiences in diverse spaces across the city-from immersive performances at the Barnes Foundation and the Philadelphia Museum of Art to pop-up cabaret shows in converted garages, and free outdoor screenings on Independence Mall for tens of thousands of Philadelphians. While honoring the legacy of the operatic canon, Opera Philadelphia leads in developing groundbreaking new works. Since 2011, the company has commissioned or co-commissioned numerous acclaimed operas from prominent composers such as Jennifer Higdon, Missy Mazzoli, Kevin Puts, and Nico Muhly, fostering a new generation of operatic storytelling. Key partnerships, including a recent multi-year collaboration with the Apollo Theater, aim to co-create a new canon of Black American opera, underscoring Opera Philadelphia's commitment to authentic storytelling and creative diversity. In 2017, Opera Philadelphia positioned Philadelphia as an international opera destination with the launch of Festival O, a 10-day immersive celebration of opera across the city. This annual festival has premiered groundbreaking works, such asWe Shall Not Be Movedby Daniel Bernard Roumain and Marc Bamuthi Joseph,10 Days in a Madhouseby Rene Orth and Hannah Moscovitch, and Anthony Roth Costanzo's genre-blendingGlass Handel,along with iconic productions of classics like Verdi'sSimon Boccanegra,recitals, and late-night cabaret performances.

Community programming extends engagement through discussions, concerts, and family events that explore opera from cultural, social, and historical perspectives. In June 2024, Opera Philadelphia welcomed GRAMMY-winning countertenor and visionary creative producer Anthony Roth Costanzo as its General Director & President. With a passion for opera, artistic talent, business insight, and a firm belief that art is a civic right, Costanzo is reshaping the field.
