Traveling the world as an international opera star, soprano Angela Brown noticed something about audiences: “I would see very few people who looked like me." This compelled her to create Opera...from a Sistah's Point of View. The show blows up preconceived expectations surrounding the sometimes intimidating art form called opera and makes sure everyone feels they belong in the audience.
The show includes Angela's witty retelling of opera plots from her perspective and leaves no doubt of the ethnic, geographic, and socio-economic diversity portrayed in opera characters. She helps people from all walks of life and races find themselves in and enjoy opera. Performed with collaborative pianist.
*Curriculum available by partnership with Classical Music Indy.

The Generation Next version of the show spotlights the next generation of multicultural singing stars from universities, conservatories, and resident artist programs alongside Angela. The show embraces opera, musical theater, spirituals, and gospel. Performed with collaborative pianist.
Singers spend quality time with Angela - coaching, rehearsing, staging, and talking through the real world challenges and demands of a performance career. A vocal masterclass usually follows the day after the show to include development opportunities for students not in the show.
