Little Gala
On Monday, April 13th, we threw our 2nd annual Little Gala at the French American International School's Arts Pavilion.
80 guests joined us to support our work, and watch a team of our students and young professional opera singers present a staged reading-style performance of Season 3's student-written opera I'm in the Mirror. It's always a treat for us to get to bring our students, families, guest artists, and supporters into one room together, to celebrate a season's worth of work, and support the future of Little Opera. Thanks to our silent auction donors, and event host: French American International School. We couldn't have done it without you! |
