Opera Conference 2018

Piper Gunnarson

On Site Opera
Executive Director
Greater New York City Area

I joined On Site Opera as the Executive Director in 2017, bringing several years of experience in nonprofit theater administration. While my background is in theater, opera is a relatively new artistic medium for me. I'm looking forward to meeting new faces in this parallel artistic world, so please introduce yourself and tell me what drove you to opera! I'm originally from Southern California and love dogs - both are favored topics of conversation.
