In part two of our Issues in Opera episode on YAPs, we are joined by Cynthia L\xf3pez P\xe9rez, co-founder of Latina Women in Opera, and Renee Namakau Ombaba, founder of Black Women in Opera to discuss the problematic ways many Young Artist Pograms treat young singers.\xa0\nFrom treating musicans as a commodity to enforcing application and tuition fees to being behind on issues of diversity and engaging in tokenism, Young Artist Programs require a lot of change, and our guests have some brilliant ideas about what needs to happen in order for opera to truly thrive.\n\xa0\nFollow Our Guests:\nBlack Women in Opera\nRenee Namakau Ombaba\nLatina Women in Opera\nCynthia L\xf3pez P\xe9rez\nFollow Us:\nInstagram\nTwitter\nFacebook\nHosts:\nJessie\nMichelle
