The Climate Opera Project is a collection of four 15-minute operas for Earth Day 2024 that depict unlikely heroes as the planet nears the impending cataclysm of human-influenced natural disasters. From a vengeful polar bear watching its habitat disappear to a water-stealing cactus, The Climate Opera Project tackles the climate crisis with humor and hope.

April 28 features an introduction by Cecil Scheib, NYU Chief Sustainability Officer, and the winners of the NYU Climate and Sustainability Opinion Essay Competition. Students will read excerpts of their winning essays.

Performance:

April 28th, 5pm at NYU Paulson Center, Theatre C (38 West Houston Street)
