The Metropolitan Opera is one of the world’s great Opera companies. It is America’s largest Classical Music organization.
Opera is originally an Italian art form. Mexico, Argentina and Brazil have strong Opera traditions too. There are many really great American Latin opera singers.
Work songs, Gospel, Jazz, and Doo Wop are our American opera. The Met Opera has opened to the Jazz canon. It is producing truly revolutionary Opera with artists of color, and screening Opera in Black and Latin communities, too. Thank you! We need to support this.

This is very important. We are witnessing the birth of American Jazz Opera as a legitimate operatic form. We’ve always been around, but opera in the Americas doesn’t get any bigger than The Metropolitan Opera.
Something big is going to develop out of this. Ballet is the operatic dance. America’s most famous ballerina, Misty Copeland, is African American. The talent developed in these productions is going to seed opera into our communities. Who is going to be the Misty Copeland of opera? They may be from this production. This is historic!
