We’re making a
new genre for opera!

Executive Summary

Opera Praktikos‬‭ (OPrak) is New York’s leading 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 commissioning 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 extraordinary opera! 

Certified in 2022 as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, OPrak produces critically acclaimed mainstage events and intimate in-person and online events, exploring the intersection of opera and disability. Our aim is to generate a community of people who are eager to engage the work, learn generously from one another, and expand the definition of what opera is.
