Under the Artistic Direction of
Gina Crusco, Underworld Productions Opera was created in 2004 to produce operas that are outside the box of mainstream repertoire, including premieres of new works, under-represented works of past centuries, and updated stagings. We de-mystify opera so that all may enjoy it by creating stylish, inclusive, and accessible performances with high musical and dramatic standards.
UPO's
Resident Artist program provides operatic training with outstanding professionals and performance opportunities, transforming singers into fully-fledged stage performers. "I am extremely impressed by the whole program!" - Suzanne Stone, soprano; 2010 RA.
