The Opera Company of Brooklyn, or the OCB, was founded in 2000 with the goal of making opera accessible and affordable throughout New York City by offering a diverse selection of opera favorites and overlooked rarities. OCB draws talented singers and musicians from the rich resources of the New York Metro area, and allows them to share their enthusiasm and love for the art form with audiences in an intimate, dynamic setting. OCB extends the artistic contributions of opera to New York City communities, and makes opera accessible to all generations.
