“Overjoyed…from the music, the artists, the experience, and the company I shared it with. I’ve been a singer and lover of classical music for so long, but never would I imagine that my very first time seeing Opera live would take place on a stoop in Brooklyn.”

— Lia Robertson, Professional dancer and coach

“The Opera Next Door single-handedly opened my eyes to the beauty, storytelling, and transcendence of opera. With clever supertitles, modern references, and a stellar cast, TOND welcomed me into Mozart’s world, and provided me with a deeper understanding and appreciation for this art form. I’ll never forget those summer performances, sitting on the block with New Yorkers from every walk of life - it was pure magic.”

— Kristina Dominick, Host of With the Band podcast
