Come back to enjoy a continuation of last month's popular survey presentation Black Voices in American Opera. Join Cole Thomason-Redus of the San Francisco Opera for this brand-new 90-minute survey focusing on the careers and recordings of both seasoned and emerging African American artists on today’s world stage of opera. In addition to celebrating these proud voices, we will continue to discuss the institutional and social barriers that have often existed within the art form, and the corrective and equity-based efforts being taken today as San Francisco Opera paves the way for a new century of opera in America. On Sunday, August 9, we will host the final program in this summer series, a special Fall Season Preview of the Opera's upcoming season, also beginning at 2 pm.
