OPERA NEWS is a New York-based publisher in the book and periodical sector focused on classical music, with roots dating to its May 1936 launch. It claims the largest circulation among North American classical-music magazines and serves an international readership beyond the United States. The publication features profiles of both emerging and established opera artists, explorations of the art form's history, coverage of new works and productions, and reviews and opinion pieces. Its reporting network includes the In Review section with local correspondents covering performances across North America and Europe, along with annual festival issues, a season preview, and a monthly Dateline that lists performance information for many opera companies and festivals. The organization maintains an online presence through its website, OPERA NEWS, launched in 1993, offering online-exclusive features, Q&As, audio surveys, photo galleries, and reviews of performances, CDs, and DVDs. The magazine originated as a newsletter published by the Metropolitan Opera Guild for its members, with initial readers concentrated in the New York metropolitan area, and has evolved into a leading classical-music publication with international reach.
