Frederica von Stade ("Flicka")
RDO was honored to have been one of the sponsors of Frederica von Stade's series of events in the Twin Cities.
In addition to performing a recital series, Flicka gave a masterclass featuring older singers organized by RDO. She was so supportive of RDO's mission that she agreed to serve as an honourary board member.
Raison d'Etre Opera is immensely grateful for her support and enthusiasm for our mission to provide ongoing education and opportunities for older singers.
