Opera America

National Opera center - Opera America's national Opera center is a state-of-the-art rental facility for the Opera community and also houses the organization's administrative offices. Custom-built to respond to the industry's need for suitable audition, rehearsal and recording facilities, specially equipped rooms facilitate co-production meetings, design presentations and professional development activities, as well as a wide range of artistic work - from performances to readings of new works and lectures. State-of-the-art electronic media technology for streaming and video conference overcomes the barrier of geography for this widely dispersed, yet highly collaborative, industry.
