UrbanArias is a ten-year-old opera company dedicated to producing short, contemporary operas.  Everything we produce is 90 minutes in length or shorter; everything we produce was written within the last 25 years.

Our mission is to expose DC-area audiences to engaging, accessible, and entertaining operas; to provide a professional venue at which both established and emerging composers can present their shorter works; to commission new, short operas regularly; and to bring new audiences to the art form through relevant, current material.
