A pioneer of the alternative opera movement in New York City since 1998, Vertical Player a creates ensemble-driven opera theatre in extraordinary venues. Our work, nurtured in our Brooklyn storefront, has extended to the Brooklyn working waterfront, the deck of an oil tanker, a raw midtown manufacturing space, the Brooklyn Bridge Park, a factory courtyard on the Gowanus Canal, and outdoors on the street, all with the same basic imperative: to share our creative process with people from all walks of life.
