Operation: Opera

At the Nuyorican Poets Cafe

From founder & host OLIVIA CUSTODIO

As a young opera singer, I found myself getting frustrated that there was no place where I could perform arias that I was working on other than in studio or during an actual audition.

So...partnered with the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, I have created Operation: Opera. It will happen the LAST TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH here at the Nuyorican. You will hear young singers from all over performing arias they love to an audience of opera newcomers, opera enthusiasts and friends.

The show will feature acclaimed poets reading the original stories, myths and legends that inspired the operas, as well as the COMEDY OPERA TROUPE which will be performing your favorite pop, hip hop and rap songs in operatic style.

Operation: Opera nights are very casual, so pull up a chair, grab a beer and listen to opera allllll night long.

If you're interested in singing in Operation: Opera, please email me at olivia.nuyorican@gmail.com.

We hope to see you here!!
