2017 - FIRST PRODUCTION

After our venue was approved, later than we had planned, we began the process of announcing our two upcoming auditions for our Inaugural performance in June 2017.


We used Facebook, word of mouth and the opera singer’s app Yap Tracker to spread the word about our venture. Our young but enthusiastic start-up was a new player in the local opera game. Thus, we didn’t anticipate too much interest – but some.


To our surprise, our fledgling company received over 112 responses and applicant inquiries in a short period. We soon discovered that we needed to
add two additional audition dates. We set about the task of locating audition sites, hearing singers, reviewing materials and choosing a wonderful cast. Interestingly, there was a great thirst and significant need for opportunities in the opera world.


Young and emerging artists seek out new experiences and exposures. This is especially true for singers of color. For our selected and wonderfully gifted singers, the fit and timing were perfect. In our first venture, we met our mission statement’s goal of engaging and shinning a light on talented and diverse classically trained singers. What great fortune! Interestingly, there was (and still is) an outsized need of opportunities for opera performance.
