Harlem Opera Theater was founded in 2001 with the goal of offering a wide range of music including opera, oratory concerts, Negro Spirituals, and other forms of American music. Per the company’s official website, it’s mission is to ““to provide performance opportunities for professional and developing gifted artists within Harlem and communities where opera is seldom performed; and to cultivate and expand audience appreciation for opera and classical music through creative programming. Particular focus, through not exclusive emphasis is given to the works of African-American composers and to projects that link different aspects of the performing arts.”
