WHAT IS THE OPERA INSIGHTS SERIES?

INFORMATIVE Q&A

There is nothing more reassuring than hearing certain things from the mouths of top-end professionals working in today’s operatic scene. We bring this to you through our regular Zoom sessions (Mondays and Thursdays) where we interview high-end performers, directors, conductors, producers, stage managers, designers, scholars, agents…you name it! There is also a 20-minute section for audience questions.

The best bit? It’s all free.
