The Opera Journal is a refereed online bi-annual scholarly journal published by the National Opera Association. In fitting with the NOA’s tradition of uniting performance and scholarship to promote excellence in opera education and pedagogy, The Opera Journal is aimed at a broad and diverse readership of opera scholars and practitioners alike. By fostering opera scholarship that bridges the worlds of performance and musicology, it aims to enrich the artform, enhance operatic encounters for its readership, and complement extant academic, pedagogical, and industry publications.
Issues are published biannually, one each in Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter. Calls for Submissions are made each January and June, with respective submission deadlines on April 1 and October 1.
