Coming Up Next:
OOT New Brew Presents: Black, Brown, Beige and Every Other Shade
Barbès376 9th StBrooklyn, NY11215-4153 Map
The New Brew series brings you classical music written by some of today’s most exciting composers, presented in entertaining and irreverent programs by young singers and instrumentalists who relish the direct contact with audiences not inhibited in their reactions by the looming menace of giant chandeliers.
Art songs are your music too; who lied to you and said that serious art music is for white people?!
Featuring Celeste Headlee, soprano, author, newly of Opera on Tap’s Advisory Council, and Grand Daughter of William Grant Still, as guest curator and artist, this program will include works by Still, Ellington, Alexander, Okoye, Sankaram, Baker, Moore, Brown, Price, Syrse, Boykin, Kerr, Hailstork, and Swanson!

We’re starting a new tradition for our Freddy’s Bar and Backroom shows: LOCAL VOCALS from 8-9pm!

Every Freddy’s show we will feature a different local artist as our opening act. Interested in collaborating with us on a show? Fill out this form and we’ll get back to you ASAP. We look forward to hearing your music!:

Mini-Festival of the Damned Vol 2
Barbès376 9th StBrooklyn, NY11215-4153 Map
Just in time for the cold, bare, existential months of January and February, arrives Opera on Tap’s first ever Mini-Festival of the DAMNED!
Over 2 nights and at 2 venues, Opera on Tappers will operatically contemplate their fates through a diverse array of music spanning centuries of the Western classical canon. At Freddys we’ll focus on the old stuff (post-mortem) and at Barbes we’ll focus on the new stuff (pre-mortem) celebrating works by composers both below and above the ground. The devil and the higher ups await you! As do the many ‘damned’ characters of opera. DAMNED if you do… DAMNED if you don’t…
Freddy's (Jan 9, 9pm)
627 5th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11215
Barbes (Feb 9, 7pm)
