Founded in 1941 by Mary Cardwell Dawson, the National Negro Opera Company is the first exclusively African-American opera company in the United States. It was initially based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and later moved to Washington, DC. The company, which undertook numerous national tours, disbanded with Dawson’s death in 1962.
