Opera Delaware Aims To Appeal To EVERYONE

What do Pretty Woman, Competitive Poker, Schools and Opera Delaware all have in common?

Opera Delaware is making big moves in an effort to bring in diverse audiences.

Their goal? To convince EVERYONE that Opera is for them.

When you think of the opera you most likely think what your neighbor is thinking. “Isn’t it in another language? Will I understand any of it? Don’t I have to dress up? I don’t think I can afford it.”

Well, Opera Delaware is here to bust all those beliefs.

Kerriann Otano visited the WJBR studios today to have a little fun with Deanna and Justin In The Morning.

You can hear their fun segment on jingles below:

Opera Delaware Aims To Appeal To EVERYONE

LISTEN- Kerriann Otano from Opera Delaware sings WJBR jingle THEN is interviewed by Deanna and Justin.

Opera Delaware has two big focuses going on right now.

They are offering free pop-ups in schools. If you are interested in a fun, interactive way to get your students excited about the arts, have Opera Delaware show up!

They are taking the opera to local schools in their big red truck, with bubbles and tshirt launchers!

In addition to the exciting work they are doing with kids, they offer fun for the adults as well.

La Traviata, the story based on Moulin Rouge and Pretty Woman is set to open at Opera Delaware at the end of March.

But that’s not all. Prior to curtain, they will host a poker tournament in their lobby with cocktails and appetizers.

So when you start to think that opera may not be for you, stop right there.

Opera Delaware Aims To Appeal To EVERYONE! And they’re prepared to prove it.

They even have SUPER titles on a screen! Like sub titles…but BIGGER.

Check out their site for more info and tickets.
