The Shakespeare Jukebox is coming to Manhattan
Even though we were unable to do our first stoop concert in Bed-Stuy due to rain, our next stop will be in Manhattan in the lovely neighborhood of Chelsea. We are so looking forward to this occasion and can’t wait to come back for a third year in a row!
As for our Bed-Stuy stoop concert, we are looking for a future date, so stay tuned, neighbors!
Our Mission
We at The Opera Next Door (TOND) aim towards fostering relationships with and within communities by creating immersive, site-specific opera productions in collaboration with community groups and leaders in diverse, working-class New York neighborhoods.

“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
