Drawing on his leadership of Kentucky Opera, he will discuss how modern opera companies must serve as cultural and civic institutions that engage communities year-round through partnerships, education, and meaningful public programming. He will share Kentucky Opera's vision for the future, including site-specific productions, interdisciplinary collaborations, and initiatives that connect opera with history, science, education, and community life. The presentation also examines opera's remarkable French heritage, from the court of Louis XIV to composers such as Lully, Rameau, Berlioz, Bizet, Massenet, Ravel, and Debussy, whose innovations transformed the art form. The presentation will be in English, with time for questions and discussion.
