The Industry L.A.

The Industry is a Los Angeles-based artist-driven company creating experimental productions that expand the definition of opera. Through interdisciplinary collaborations in new contexts, we produce works that defy boundaries and inspire new audiences to the art form. Founded by Yuval Sharon in 2010, The Industry has commissioned and produced four critically acclaimed, world-premiere, large-scale, and site-responsive productions: Invisible Cities (2013), Hopscotch, (2015), War of the Worlds, (2017) Sweet Land, (2020), and twelve smaller-scale yet artistically ambitious programs, all featuring American composers, instrumentalists, and singers. Our recording label, The Industry Records, expands the reach of our projects and other new, experimental American operas through high-quality recordings and films.
