dell’Arte Opera Ensemble’s nurtures emerging opera artists through rehearsal and performance opportunities, seminars and master classes, and  attract new audiences by offering high-quality opera presentations at little or no cost.

dell’Arte Opera Ensemble was founded in New York City in 2000. Its first production was an artfully staged and costumed version of Bellini’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi, with piano accompaniment and integrated narration from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In keeping with dell’Arte founder Christopher Fecteau’s vision, the production took advantage of an existing location, the neo-gothic chapel of Riverside Church.

Its opera reading series entails concert-style presentations that represent the culmination of intense work of young singers. 

dell’Arte has organized presentations of over 48 operas, providing almost 200 singers with invaluable experiences.
