About St. Mark's Church
Opera Exposures performs frequently at Saint Mark’s, one of the oldest churches in New York City. The original structure was built on the farm of Governor Peter Stuyvesant in 1660 and later destroyed. This replacement was erected in 1799. In 1828 its steeple was added and the cast-iron portico around 1858.

I am delighted to be part of this collaboration to bring about an afternoon of cultural emersion. With its history and architectural character, Saint Marks is a perfect venue to host Opera Exposures and this impressive line-up of gifted operatic performers.
—Jeanine Otis, Musical Director, St. Mark's Church

Still an active parish, the elegant wood and stone building is also used as a cultural center and performance space that includes the New York Poetry Project, the Danspace Project and the Ontological Theatre (venue of the famous avant-garde writer/director, Richard Foreman).
