Legacy programming includes our Opera Night at the BPL\, and yearly participation in the BPL’s Concerts in the Courtyard summer concert series. Additional projects and programs have included bringing our Opera 101 interactive performances to BPL Children’s Room’s across the city\, and programming specific collaborations.  \nAbout the Jane & Steven Akin Emerging Artists \nBLO recognizes that the next generation of opera stars needs to be nurtured in order to flourish\, and that the future of the art form depends on their success. Jane & Steven Akin Emerging Artists are identified during the casting process of each Season’s repertoire. The Artists have\, in most cases\, already established themselves professionally and are drawn primarily from the post-graduate and post-young artist fields.
