Opera Conference 2019: Deepening Civic Practice

Opera has the potential to enrich lives and strengthen communities as people with different experiences overcome the isolation of technology and gather together to explore the emotions and insights of shared human stories. The civic fabric can be strengthened further when opera companies establish strong, long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with partners to bridge divisions and address shared priorities. Sessions in this cluster will demonstrate the power of authentic connections to shape the art form, strengthen our companies and improve the cities we serve.
