Founded in 2006 as a bold response to the opera industry machine, coópera was a cooperative effort by young artists for young artists, distilling opera to its intrinsic elements, in order to create opportunities for all and engage unexpected communities. After a hiatus prompted by the successful professional development of its original group of artists, a new and quite relevant mission has evolved: to re-purpose our cooperative nature through our current professional ranking, donating our craft to aid in the humanitarian and social efforts needed in the world around us. Coópera now brings operatic artists and communities together, providing music that can heal and raising funds to tend to the causes that these communities and artists hold closest to their hearts, working at a small-scale level, wherever we can, whenever we can and however we can, as we would do as individuals to prepare our own homes or assist our own families. Helping one person at a time through the power of many.
