Light Opera of New Jersey, Inc. is a nonprofit performing arts organization based in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, focused on producing opera and musical theatre productions. It presents fully staged works, such as The Pirates of Penzance and Oklahoma!, alongside lighter programs, and it collaborates with both professional leads and skilled amateur performers to maintain strong production values. The organization also runs workshops, cabarets, and school programs to engage learners and communities. The company traces its origins to the early 1990s as an offshoot of Corson Studios, founded by William Corson and Lauran Fulton Corson.

In addition to its own stage productions, LONJ curates concerts for other artists, including an A Cappella Jamboree featuring collegiate groups such as The Colgate Thirteen and the Yale Whiffenpoofs. In 2026 the organization expanded its leadership with the appointment of a General Manager to support growth and continued artistic and community engagement.
