We’re making a
new genre for opera!

Executive Summary

Opera Praktikos‬‭ (OPrak) is New York City’s first disability-affirmative opera company.‬

We present a genre of opera that is interabled and champions disability-artistry as a creative force in the field. Through deliberate reinterpretations of classical operas‬ and the commissioning of new works, we want our performers, arts-workers and audiences to authentically find themselves in the stories we portray on stage. We do this by honoring disability culture, fostering access to community and making opera happen in the very heart of New York City.‬ 

As a certified 501c3 not-for-profit organization, OPrak has produced critically acclaimed mainstage events and more intimate in-person and online events that explore the intersection of opera and disability. Our aim is to generate a community of people who are eager to engage, learn, expand and explore what opera can become.
