Regina Opera Company

Regina Opera’s mission is to encourage music lovers on a limited budget to attend high-quality operas and concerts by offering ticket prices much lower than those of New York City’s major opera houses, to provide a place for young musical artists to be trained in their craft, and to introduce young audiences to opera so that they can become the audience of the future. Regina Opera offers the residents of New York City a year-round series of operas and concerts to entertain listeners and improve the quality of their lives. Regina Opera promotes and develops public awareness and involvement in classical, semi-classical, and popular vocal music. Regina Opera aims to transform people who have never seen a complete, live opera into the audience of the future. Regina Opera enables audience members to grow to appreciate the operatic repertoire and its “slice of life” emotional release, both dramatic and comic, in a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere. Regina Opera provides a training ground to nurture the talents and polish the skills of musical and stage artists and directors. Regina Opera encourages the self-expression of many local residents through membership in the opera chorus, singing roles, participation in the Concert Series, and membership in the costume and set design team. Regina Opera is an independent group, free from the control of music conservatories and vocal instructors. Regina Opera gives equal opportunity to all, judging performers only by their talent and interests.
