I'm loving how Detroit Opera is pushing the boundaries with their new season

! I think it's amazing they're shining a light on marginalized voices and American folk music - it's about time we hear more stories that aren't just about royalty or fantasy

. The fact that they paired two works together, even if they were from different styles and themes, shows they're willing to take risks and challenge the status quo

.
I also love how they're focusing on intimacy and social realism over spectacle - it's so refreshing to see opera companies prioritizing real stories and emotions over grand set designs

. And let's be real, who doesn't want to hear more about Black American life and working people's experiences? It's time we started telling these stories in a way that feels authentic and relatable

.
I'm excited to see how the rest of the season unfolds, but for now, I think Detroit Opera has made a fantastic statement

. Fingers crossed they continue to balance innovation with accessibility and keep pushing the boundaries of what opera can be!
