The Opera Next Door
On May 22nd and 23rd of 2021, against all odds, The Opera Next Door presented Mozartโs Cosรฌ fan tutte on the stoops of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
Saturday Cast-May 22nd, 2021
Sunday Cast- May 23rd, 2021
โOverjoyedโฆfrom the music, the artists, the experience, and the company I shared it with. Iโve 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.โ
โ Lia Robertson, Professional dancer and coach
โThe 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 Mozartโs world, and provided me with a deeper understanding and appreciation for this art form. Iโll never forget those summer performances, sitting on the block with New Yorkers from every walk of life - it was pure magic.โ
