Megan Thompson Executive Director, Great Lakes Light Opera GreatLakesLightOpera1@gmail.com www.GreatLakesLightOpera.com The Great Lakes Light Opera seeks to offer Cleveland an educational and outreach-focused/oriented opera company that connects with all audiences, from the seasoned opera-goer to those with no previous exposure to classical music of any kind. We will achieve this mission by: *Reaching out to atypical venues in order to perform “portable” concerts of opera scenes and other vocal art music. *Educating audiences of all ages by presenting lecture recitals, which give the audience/performers an opportunity to connect with the text/history/theory behind classical music. *Programming unique operas, concerts, and revues with the aim of piquing the interest of the community. *Mining Cleveland’s rich community of artists and musicians who are equally committed to de-mystifying and revitalizing the traditional art music scene.
