Happy World Opera Day!

Today, we celebrate the remarkable artists and global partners who bring BLO’s productions to life. From last season’s Eurydice to the Pulitzer Prize-winning Omar, and even Svadba from our days on OperaBoxTV – these collaborations remind us that opera has no borders!

As our artists and team share their talents worldwide, we’re reminded of the power of opera to connect us all. Join us in celebrating the art form that knows no boundaries!
