Limited Capacity filling up
Women leaders will share how artists and audiences are reimagining women’s stories in opera, both in standard repertoire and through the creation of new works. A second discussion will focus on practical ways to build a personal network, take risks to jump barriers, and establish gender parity in an environment that confronts misogyny and respects women. Attendees will also learn how the Women’s Opera Network is connecting mentors and protégés, creators, colleagues and allies.

Reception to follow.

REFERENCE AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS SESSION:
