Upcoming Events
"connecting with Raison d'Être Opera after their inaugural concert, I knew I had "found my people".
Maintaining enthusiasm, perseverance, metamorphosis, and technical facility is difficult enough for artists of any age or genre, but for an aging opera singer, it verges on the impossible. But RDO's supportive and encouraging environment—the "Raison d'Être"—enabled me to find my voice again and to joyfully collaborate with wonderful artists of all ages, on Paulus' The Village Singer and other concerts and events. We are still here and have so much to share.
Join RDO as a performer or audience member and own the wisdom of your years!"
