New Oklahoma Operas

by Opera on Tap OKC

This show will feature three recently commissioned short operas from Opera on Tap's 10-Minute Opera festival. Each work presents a diverse, eccentric theme through powerful vocals and expressive acting. Prather’s opera features an optimistic, eager journalist alongside her misogynist boss. This relevant exposé provides the perspective of a woman mistreated in the workplace and was originally written during the height of the #metoo movement. Van Horn’s opera is a comedic re-telling of Alice at the Tea Party. Finally, Broyles’ Conveyance tells the story of two best friends, who co-pilot a freighter in a distant star system. All is well until a single conversation makes them doubt each other.

​

As a 501 (c)(3) non-profit performing arts organization, Opera on Tap - OKC’s motto is “opera for the people.” Our mission is to perform in alternative venues, to provide professional performance opportunities to local musicians, and to promote new, contemporary opera. Our chapter is managed locally and provides these opportunities to Central Oklahoma. Our dynamic roster of professional vocalists perform a range of operatic repertoire, and through their interpretations and portrayed emotions, listeners are pulled into a truly immersive experience.
