Marc A. Scorca, President & CEO
|
Marc A. Scorca joined OPERA America in 1990 as president and CEO, and is responsible for the strategic leadership and management of the entire organization.
Since that time, the OPERA America membership has grown from 120 opera companies to nearly 2,500 organizations and individuals. An additional 16,000 subscribers
now receive a variety of free and fee-based services.
A strong advocate of collaboration, Scorca has led several cross-disciplinary projects, including the
Performing Arts Research Coalition, National Music Coalition, and The First National Performing Arts Convention. Under his leadership, OPERA America has
administered two landmark funding initiatives in support of the development of North American operas and opera audiences and launched a $20 million endowment
effort in 2000 to create a permanent fund dedicated to supporting new works and audience
|
development activities. The establishment of the Information and
Research Service, Artistic Service, and Trustee/Volunteer programs has expanded service to the entire field.
OPERA America’s relocation from Washington,
D.C. to New York City in December 2005 has increased communication and collaboration with and among members both locally and nationally. OPERA America
supported the establishment of affiliated Opera.ca (Toronto) and Opera Europa (Brussels) and works closely with both organizations. Scorca has led
strategic planning retreats for opera companies and other cultural institutions internationally, and has participated on panels for federal, state,
and local funding agencies, as well as for numerous private organizations. He also appears frequently in the media on a variety of cultural issues.
Scorca attended Amherst College where he graduated with high honors in both history and music.
