Whether you are presenting a concert, staging a theatrical production, premiering a new work, releasing a recording, or producing a festival, Opening Night offers professional editorial coverage that brings your work to the forefront.
Our writers are committed to crafting thoughtful, informed, and timely criticism of music, theater, dance, books, recordings, and dining. We attend live events throughout New York City and Northern New Jersey, crafting articulate, carefully considered reviews that illuminate artistic vision, authenticity, and performance.
Our contributors—distinguished critics, educators, musicians, actors, and arts professionals—bring uncommon depth and perspective to each assignment, approaching their work with professionalism, integrity, and respect for the creative process.
As an exclusively digital publication, Opening Night publishes quickly and shares widely across online platforms, making coverage immediately accessible to presenters, management, public relations representatives, performers, and arts patrons worldwide.
Please note: editorial coverage reflects the independent opinions of our reviewers. Submission fees support reviewer assignment, attendance, and editorial processing, and help us provide insightful, intuitive coverage. Please book as far in advance as possible, as our writers are frequently scheduled months in advance. In the rare event that our writer misses your event due to an emergency, we’ll reschedule for a multi-performance event or provide a refund for a missed single event within 14 days. For any photos you provide, be sure to cite the photo credit (who took the photo).
