Opera. Change is in the air. These are the stories of Opera For All Voices, its continuing mission to seek out more voices, to explore other ways of sharing story, to boldly go where opera has yet to get.

In January of 2016, we started a conversation with opera companies across the country about how to create nimble new works that would resonate more deeply with our communities.

Six years, four commissions, two world premiers, eight states, three universities, one global pandemic, and one performance on the deck of a retired oil tanker later... A whole new frontier is on the horizon.\\xa0

This season on Key Change, we\'re celebrating the voices of the community in this new opera frontier -- the instigators, the creators, the artists, the presenters, and the audience.

Season 4 begins June 2022.
