OUR MISSION

OPERAnauts envisions a world where the transformative power of opera helps individuals and societies recover from violence and poverty.

OPERAnauts’ mission is to bring opera to communities around the world who would not be able to afford it otherwise, and make this art form accessible to them.  Through opera, created through an intensely collaborative process, OPERAnauts helps end the cycle of violence-poverty by allowing people to learn empathy and resilience, and to regain hope.

WHO WE ARE
A team of performing artists, artisans, and creative artists – including opera singers, musicians, dancers, photographers, videographers, journalists, and designers – supported by youth leaders who promote music as our reply to violence.

“Music is really this wonderful resource for us. What I find when I am overwhelmed with how choices are being made for others over which we have no control and it seems like the higher powers and the strong men seem to be winning, that listening to or singing music transforms us and can lift us above it all. It is, quite simply, hope.” ~ Joy Bechtler
