What Is Opera-Tune-Ity
“Opera-tune-ity!” is part of the nonprofit Up Street Music Patrons whose mission is “To expand and nurture our community through the beauty and creativity of inspiring music.” This special opera outreach program is committed to bringing opera into the community and fostering a love of the art form in a younger generation.
“Opera-tune-ity!” can be tailored to fit an audience of any age, and features 2-4 professional opera singers, and live piano accompaniment. We have performed across the North Bay at numerous schools, churches, and community events–with every performance of the highest quality musicianship.
