The International Brazilian Opera Company (IBOC) is a New York-based 501c3 non-profit organization with a mission to support the creation and development of a new operatic repertoire that combines ideas from Brazilian and international artists while providing an educational structure for emerging talent.

IBOC supports communities at risk and immigrant artists. A group of professionals of Latinx, African-American, and Jewish origins funded IBOC. These artists and producers united to create opportunities for the underrepresented to collaborate in a cross-cultural environment. By expanding the reach of contributions to cultures not traditionally embraced by opera, we broaden the genre and create a wider audience. We are building an alternative pipeline for creators: a path that is pregnant with innovation, excitement, and emotional impact. Diversity is embedded in our DNA.

The three pillars of our mission:
- Creation of new repertoire
- International collaboration
- The creation of an educational structure fro embrace emerging artists

We believe that opera is the art-form of the future. It can be a multimedia event that encompasses cutting-edge technology in the service of a ritual of human connection. It unites all art forms, providing an experience that has no parallel. We understand opera as a community-building effort.

The IBOC Artist's Career Development Program aims to create work opportunities, media exposure, cross-cultural collaboration, and professional relationships in the international market. IBOC will act as a Non-Exclusive International Agent for selected artists and present new names to the international market. Artists in the program will participate in performances designed to further their artistic development and present them to an international audience. They continue to hone their artistic, interpretive, and technical skills as they grow into successful careers in the art.

IBOC intends to extend our market to a wider public through adventurous programming and embrace an extended array of innovative technological disciplines. We know that the arts must depend on the employment of artists and allied technicians in many disciplines. Automation has little place in our creation. By creating a strong market for the arts, we expect to generate a ripple effect through communities by creating jobs in all phases of opera production, marketing, media, service, and catering. These areas require human interaction and creativity; they are unlikely to be automated now or in the future.
