THE POST OFFICE NYC Premiere


  • The American Opera Project 138 South Oxford Street Brooklyn, NY, 11217 United States (map)

THE POST OFFICE will receive its NYC Premiere Production at the BAM Fisher on May 16, 17, 19, 20 & 21, 2026.

A blistering conflict erupts between two postal workers, and their customers and neighbors, who all struggle to find common ground in a one-room Post Office that could be anywhere in America, a place of escalating toxicity. The Post Office itself, in a unique design by Charles Renfro, is a character, containing multitudes, in this contemporary chamber opera, where the ghost of Benjamin Franklin, founder of the U.S. postal service, laments the threat to his legacy and to democracy itself. 

Music by Laura Kaminsky
Words by Elaine Sexton
Design by Charles Renfro, Diller Scofidio + Renfro
