About the company
Opera Philadelphia, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, receives federal grant funding from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support opera production, including venue rental, artist fees, and new commissions. The organization operates as a grant recipient only; it holds no federal contracts, subcontracts, or IDV positions.
Opera Philadelphia's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. All 19 awards in the source data are NEA project grants, spanning from 2008 to the present. The organization has received consistent annual NEA support — one grant per year across 2022 through 2026 — with a combined obligated value of $12.7 million across the full award history. Recent grants funded the world premiere of Sleepers Awake by Gregory Spears (awarded January 2026, completion May 2026; venue rental and artist fees), a new production of L'Amant Anonyme by Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint-Georges (awarded January 2025, completion March 2025; artist fees), Giacomo Puccini's Madame Butterfly (awarded January 2024, completion May 2024), La Bohème (awarded January 2023, completion May 2023), and the world premiere of Ten Days in a Madhouse by René Orth and Hannah Moscovich as part of Festival O23 (awarded January 2022, completion December 2023). All awards are structured as project grants covering discrete production runs with completion dates ranging from three to twenty-two months.
NEA accounts for 100% of Opera Philadelphia's federal award footprint, and the organization has no presence on any federal contracts, GWACs, IDIQs, or subcontracting teams. Federal funding represents one revenue stream for the organization alongside private donations, ticket sales, and earned income from performances.
