World Opera Forum 2024 Conclusion: Making a Case for Opera

We return to the opening challenge. Have two days of debate about critical issues among global opera leaders clarified programmatic aspirations, prioritization of respect for the people of opera, and the relationship of companies to the places they inhabit? Can creative sustainability, environmental sustainability, and financial sustainability coexist in a supportable balance? Can they reinforce one another in a manner that brings new energy to a 400-year-old art form?

Making a Case for Opera was originally presented at World Opera Forum & Opera Conference in Los Angeles, CA, on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.

  • Deborah Brevoort, librettist and playwright (United States)
  • Larry Desrochers Manitoba Opera (Canada)
