Li) from the 2026 AOP-NYU/Tisch Opera Lab: THE TRANSIT OPERAS, 12 short operas dedicated to the New York Transit Museum in celebration of their 50th anniversary. This opera was inspired by the BRT Brooklyn Union Elevated Car 1407.

Music director/pianist Julius Abrahams, stage director Jerrica White, costume design Eryn Perkins, set design Matt Conte, lighting Jordan McAuliffe. Stage manager Chris Daly, assistant stage manager Ellie Miller.
ANOTHER TRAIN, ANOTHER TIME is a time travel q***r love story taking place in both the modern day and 1904. We follow the story of two souls drawn together against all odds, as human connection blossoms in the most unlikely of places of a subway car on the Lexington Avenue line.

AOP commissions, develops and produces operas from creators whose work can stand the test of time. Laura Kaminsky with Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed made AS ONE for AOP and its BAM debut in 2014: a trans story that is reverberating throughout the contemporary opera scene. Check back for more AS ONE information during Pride Month.
AOP closed our BAM presentation of Laura's and librettist Elaine Sexton's THE POST OFFICE: "the crossing of music and text, imagery and language, sound and discourse, each becoming the other..." - R. Sarkissian, Whitehot Magazine.
Our colleagues at Seattle Opera have just announced Laura, alongside librettist Deborah Brevoort will be the Creative Directors of Jane Lang David Creation Lab, a new-works incubator program.
