NEW YORK — The New York City Opera and the union for its singers have reached a contract agreement.

The opera’s management and the American Guild of Musical Artists of the AFL-CIO announced the two-year agreement Friday.

The union’s board of governors unanimously ratified the agreement. Union members will vote on it within a week.

The union also represents the opera’s stage managers, dancers, stage directors and assistant directors.

The opera and the union representing members of its orchestra entered a new contract in June.
