OPERA
“Her vision has reshaped the language of movement in opera, Broadway, and concert dance” -Cultural Attaché
Fire Shut Up in My Bones
“Queen of Broadway and opera.”
-The New Yorker
"Everyone who saw the videos the Met shared online prior to the opening knew what was coming and they greeted the dancers with exuberant applause. But even then, they could never have anticipated the sheer mastery that would unfold through Camille A. Brown’s choreography. And when the dancers had completed their number (no orchestration by the way to accompany them – they were both dancers and the music), the entire audience JUMPED out of its seats to give them a standing ovation."
- Opera Wire
Champion

- Parterre

- Opera Wire

HONORS IN OPERA
2022 Bessie Award Nominee for Outstanding Choreographer/Creator (Fire Shut Up in My Bones)
“Breaking Glass Ceilings” By Artist, Jim Kckeon for The Metropolitan Opera
Camille A. Brown brings musicality and a passion for storytelling to her choreography for opera productions. She relishes the opportunity to live in both worlds, because working in opera “has helped me be a better choreographer.”
Camille brings theatricality and musicality to all her personal work, while investing that same urgency and depth into opera projects.
