Social distancing be darned: THE SHOW MUST GO ON... AT HOME! We are absolutely thrilled to announce that we will stream Thirsty Thursdays at the Opera (at HOME) on Thursday, June 25th at 7pm on our YouTube channel, FREE and open to all! When we realized that returning to live performances would be delayed longer than we had thought, we asked our artists who had been hired for our regular Thirsty Thursday concert in May to go digital with us, and they all graciously agreed. We have honored our original contracts and have paid them IN FULL for their work.

"We are in an extraordinary time period of planetary history. The current pandemic and the exposure of systemic racism via the innocent killing of an African-American man by police has created some very challenging and adverse conditions world-wide. I am extremely optimistic because for the first time the entire world is rising up to protest systemic racism in all its various forms and manifestations. Music is overwhelmingly vital as a healing force for the universe.
