Opera Philadelphia is committed to developing opera for the 21st century. The company recognized as “a hotbed of operatic innovation” (New York Times) and “the very model of a modern opera company” (Washington Post) opens each season in September with the annual Festival O, two weeks of world premieres, celebrated productions, and performances held in venues throughout the city.
East Passyunk Opera Project (ePOP) was developed to create opportunities to bring opera off the stage and into Philadelphia communities. Their mission is to expand community awareness and access to opera, musical theater, and art by collaborating with exceptional performance and visual artists paired with unique venues to bring innovative, accessible, and free or low-cost performances to the Philadelphia audiences.
