New multi-year partnerships embed Opera Philadelphia’s artistic practice within other organizations to co-create operas and foster deep, collaborative relationships. Building on an existing strategic alliance with the Apollo Theater to co-commission and co-produce works by Black artists and composers, the company seeks to work with organizations related to and outside of the opera genre to nurture mutual artistic, branding, and fundraising efforts that imagine and implement new economic models for the arts.

The total grant amount represents project funding plus an additional 20% in unrestricted general operating support.
