"A consistently appealing quality of a Bronx Opera production is the engaging sense of community that pervades the performance - without, I hasten to say, any hint of slighting high professional standards."
- New York Magazine History of the Bronx Opera
The Bronx Opera Company was founded in 1967 by Michael Spierman, the organization's Artistic Director and principal Conductor.
