MassOpera is a grassroots, professional opera company based in Boston, Massachusetts, that focuses on producing high-quality artistic work while advancing inclusive storytelling and diverse representation on stage. Rooted in the performing arts, the organization emphasizes supporting new works and developing artists, with guiding principles that include fair compensation for performers, gender parity, and education for singers to become both artists and business-minded professionals. The company seeks to engage audiences as lifelong learners and to reflect the diverse community it serves by presenting a range of races, religions, genders, and cultures in both casting and storytelling. Since its 2018 rebranding, MassOpera has expanded its mission to create new opera through initiatives like the New Opera Workshop and to produce fully staged operatic or orchestral productions each season, operating from its base in the Boston area. A recent development includes appointing an Interim Artistic Director to guide the organization while a search for a permanent leader is conducted.
