  Matt Gray is a dedicated and passionate artist and producer with 20 years of experience in telling stories relevant to our times. In 2023, he began a new role as the Event Manager for Cisco's NY HQ, first under contract with CBRE, and now JLL. Matt Gray led Brooklyn's The American Opera Project (AOP) as General Director from 2019-2022, an organization with over thirty years of history creating and defining new American opera theatre. During this time, he commissioned new songs on Black disenfranchisement and Transgender awareness, new programs providing spiritual healing spaces through music, and new operas on women’s history, reproductive rights, cultural erasure in China and Tibet, as well as premiering the organization’s first opera written, performed, directed, designed, and crewed entirely by women and non-gendered artists. Prior to this, he was AOP's Producing Director for over ten years during a robust time for the organization and for contemporary opera in the United States. Through AOP, he was instrumental in dozens of word premieres including “As One,” the first opera about a transgender person, which became the most produced contemporary American opera in the 21st Century. He was named one of 16 “future industry leaders” selected for OPERA America 2019 Leadership Intensive. Matt Gray has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Directing from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He spent several years in New York City working in both indie film and theatre before joining AOP – having never seen an opera. He quickly relied on his background in film and theatre to develop AOP projects from the point of view of an audience member unfamiliar with opera, but well-versed in popular entertainment and modern storytelling. Operas directed include As One (AOP/New York City Opera, 2019; Columbus Opera, 2019; Chautauqua Opera, 2018; International Opera Projects in Berlin, 2016), Darkling (Center City Opera Theater, 2008), and opera workshops at AOP including AbSynth (Galapagos Art Space), Numinous City (Rubin Museum of Art), and Semmelweis (New York Academy of Medicine). In addition, he has directed concerts, cabarets, and plays around NYC, including Marianna Martines: A Legacy of Her Own (Sheen Center) and Bohemian Valentine (NY Fringe Festival). He is the co-writer and co-director of the 12-part serialized play Penny Dreadful which ran at the Brick Theater in Brooklyn for two years and the one-act play Stand Clear (2004). He was one of five directors on the award-winning indie horror anthology film The Moose Head Over the Mantel (2017). Jll
