Opera America, styled OPERA America, is a New York–based service organization promoting the creation, presentation, and enjoyment of opera in the United States. Almost all professional opera companies and some semi-professional companies in the United States are members of the organization including such opera companies as the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Dallas Opera. Opera America also includes opera companies from Canada.[1]
The organization was founded in 1970 and has been led by President and CEO Marc A. Scorca since 1990.[2]
In April 2014, advisers from Opera America worked with San Diego Opera to develop a plan to prevent that company's closure.[3]
