The New Works Showcase is intended to expand and diversify the range of new works presented at OPERA America's annual New Works Forum.

Pieces selected to be presented as part of the showcase will represent works in development by OPERA America Professional Company Members or individual artist grant recipients who are in good standing. The showcase will feature three 10- to 15-minute excerpts from selected works in Marc A. Scorca Hall at the National Opera Center.

The New Works Showcase is supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
