Gregory Moomjy

Founder & Artistic Director 

In 2012, Greg earned his Bachelor of Arts in Musicology from Fordham University, followed by a Masters of Science in Journalism from The Columbia School of Journalism in 2014. A passionate life-long opera lover, he has spent ten years covering trends in the field for outlets such as Classical Singer and The Indie Opera Podcast. He has also penned articles for New Mobility, New Jersey Monthly and PC Gamer. In 2018 Greg delivered a lecture on Wagner and Antisemitism at University of Pittsburgh’s “Revolution of Tenderness” conference.

As a disabled person with Cerebral Palsy, the intersection of opera and disability is a cornerstone of Greg’s work. He serves as Assistant to the Librettists for touch, an opera by Carla Lucero and Marianna Mott Newirth on the radical life of Helen Keller, commissioned by Opera Birmingham for a 2024 world premiere. Greg was recently appointed Resident Musicologist for Divaria Productions, a New York City-based company dedicated to educating audiences about the historical circumstances surrounding classic works and watershed moments in operatic history. Gregory is thrilled to be involved in Orlando: Hero of Love, the inaugural production of Opera Praktikos, a company that strives to make opera truly accessible to all.
