Teatro Grattacielo
Teatro Grattacielo is unique in New York City.
Teatro Grattacielo promotes the rich tradition of opera by revitalizing lesser-known works, commissioning new operas, and supporting emerging artists. Dedicated to making opera accessible to every corner of New York City, Teatro Grattacielo connects with communities of all cultural, social, and economic experiences, contributing to the sustainability of the art form.
"Teatro Grattacielo is where my belief in opera’s future becomes daily practice. Since 2020, I’ve focused on expanding access, amplifying new voices, and building a company that treats opera not as a museum piece, but as a vital, shared cultural experience across New York City."
Stefanos Koroneos
Stefanos was named Artistic and General Director of Teatro Grattacielo in January 2020.
His background as a performer, director, and mentor shapes Stefanos’ vision at Teatro Grattacielo: building access, opportunity, and continuity by supporting new generations of singers and artists.
"I believe opera only survives if it remains present in people’s lives. My work at Teatro Grattacielo is rooted in making opera accessible, relevant, and responsive—bringing overlooked works, new creations, and emerging artists into direct conversation with the communities of New York City."

We believe in opera that upholds the highest artistic standards while welcoming new audiences, uplifting underrepresented voices, supporting emerging and young artists, and engaging communities through education, dialogue, and interdisciplinary collaboration—locally and globally.
