Teatro Grattacielo is proud to announce the World Premiere of The Tin Angel on June 28-29, 2025 as part of its 31st season. The Tin Angel Opera, written to a libretto by Paul Pines and based on his widely acclaimed novel of the same name, with music by award-winning composer Daniel Asia, is set in the edgy world of a NYC downtown Bowery jazz club, where a unique cast of characters play out their dramatic story as a call for redemption. The inspiration behind the story is The Tin Palace, the real-life New York City’s jazz mecca of the 70s, founded by Paul Pines in 1973. Performances will take place at the Ellen Stewart Theater at La MaMa, just two blocks from the original Tin Palace. The production will be conducted by David Bloom and directed by Chloe Treat.

About Teatro Grattacielo’s last three decades
Successful productions of rare and forgotten operatic gems such as Mascagni’s Guglielmo Ratcliff, Montemezzi’s L’Amore dei Tre Re, Giordano’s La Cena Delle Beffe, and Spontini’s historic Italian version of La Vestale are some highlights of Teatro Grattacielo’s past years, to name a few. The company’s dedication to excellence and musical authenticity has earned recognition from audiences, critics, and artists alike. Under new leadership since 2020, Teatro Grattacielo has expanded both its repertoire and boundaries, gaining international acclaim and creating collaborations with prominent arts organizations, implementing the robust educational programs Creative Tableaux, and experimenting with innovative performance techniques. In 2024, Teatro Grattacielo celebrated its 30th Anniversary Season with the world premiere of an American opera, Beyond the Horizon by Nicolas Flagello, which was very well received by the New York press.
