Catapult Opera is committed to diversity both on and off the stage: among its singers, designers, composers, administration, and board. Neal Goren, Catapult Opera’s Artistic Director, has long been celebrated for bringing new perspectives to opera. As the Founding Artistic Director of Henry Street Chamber Opera and of Gotham Chamber Opera, he legitimized and popularized the formerly undervalued genre of chamber opera to where it is now generally credited with possessing equal expressive potential as grand opera.
