<strong>Opera</strong> for Adults<br />
Pre-performance discussions with Ryan Brown are a long-standing company tradition<br />
that regularly attract standing-room-only audiences to learn more about the opera<br />
being performed, its musical and historical relevance, and hear insider updates about<br />
the evening’s production and performance. This event takes place one-hour before<br />
nearly every <strong>Opera</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> performance. (This season the only exception is the<br />
Saturday, November 23, <strong>20</strong><strong>19</strong> performance of Venus and Adonis.)<br />
These pre-performance discussions are so popular that this season <strong>Opera</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> is<br />
offering an online discussion provided by Ryan approximately one-month before each<br />
production. Donors of $100 and above are invited to attend one of the season’s live events, and subscribers are invited<br />
to participate online during the live event. The event will be available to download for everyone who is interested in<br />
learning more.<br />
Ryan Brown gives a pre-performance discussion at<br />
<strong>Opera</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> also performs at local events and in public performances throughout the Washington, DC and NY metro<br />
areas. We have presented season preview programs, performed in private homes, Embassies, and branches of DC Public<br />
Library, and been invited to perform for such prestigious events as “France in the White House” presented by The White<br />
House Historical Association.<br />
Ryan Brown and Soprano Jaely Chamberlain Turner, an <strong>Opera</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> Young Artist alum,<br />
performed at the seminar "France in the White House" presented by The White House<br />
Historical Assocation.<br />
This season we are expanding our community offerings to<br />
include events in advance of performance day and presented<br />
in venues throughout various New York and Washington,<br />
DC neighborhoods. These events are intended for our<br />
regular patrons who are attracted to gaining a more holistic<br />
understanding of our season’s operas. These events are also<br />
designed with opera novices in mind. We want to connect<br />
people from other arts and humanities disciplines, and even<br />
other sectors, to opera, and pique their interest in opera as it<br />
relates to their advocation or vocations. Visit our Calendar of<br />
Events at <strong>Opera</strong><strong>Lafayette</strong>.org to learn about upcoming activities.<br />
<strong>Opera</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong> believes that in the right setting opera IS for everyone. If you are interested in partnering with us, please<br />
contact Diana Hossack, Executive Director, at DianaHossack@<strong>Opera</strong><strong>Lafayette</strong>.org or (212) 634-9388, ext. 602.
