Season 3: What now?

Season 3: What now?

It doesn't seem that long ago, and yet... Remember when we used to gather in a theater with hundreds of other people to see a live show?

Remember how that felt? The excitement? The anticipation?

In this Season 3 trailer, we listen back to comments from our expectant audience recorded minutes before the world premiere of our first Opera for All Voices (OFAV) commission, Sweet Potato Kicks the Sun.

That premiere was over a year ago in October of 2019 -- we had done it, the realization of a dream!

Kittle did we know that in less than six months, a novel coronavirus would shutter theaters around the world ending live performances.

So what now? What happens when you have to put your dream on hold? How do artists create new work? Where is our audience and how do we connect?

What are the new opportunities for effective systemic, positive change that we may not have seen or been bold enough to implement without a global crisis?

And what does all of this mean for Opera for All Voices -- in the microcosm of opera and in the macro of this imperative and collective need to confront and heal?

Stay tuned. Key Change Season 3 starts February 2021.

P.S. Go back and listen to Seasons 1 & 2 to get up to speed and meet us for this next chapter in the OFAV story.
