There Will Be Cake! Disability-affirmative opera by Opera Praktikos

The Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center (WFCPC) at Columbia Univerisity is excited to support Opera Praktikos on their musical drama There Will Be Cake! this December.

Founded by Greg Moomjy, a member of the WFCPC’s Patient Family Advisory Council (PFAC), Opera Praktiko is New York City’s first disability-affirmative opera company, with a mission to make opera an inclusive and accessible art form for audiences and artists alike.

There Will Be Cake! is a sweet, site-specific musical drama pairing two mono-operas about memory and food, featuring words of wisdom from Julia Child herself! One short opera bakes us a chocolate cake, the other spreads joy! Mixed together, these mono-operas make for one hour of a delicious and joy-filled community event…and yes, there WILL be cake!

The performances will be held at Asylum NYC, an accessible venue in Manhattan. There will be three matinee performances at 1:30pm on December 12th, 13th, and 14th, 2024.
