Taste of Opera: Transgender Visibility in the Arts
San Diego Opera is proud to present the opera As One, part of the dētour series which reflects topics and stories that are important to diverse communities. As One explores the journey of Hannah from her youth in a small town to a place where she learns to embrace herself and her true identity emerges. As One strips the topic of being transgender bare to one human being’s personal and emotional story with a beautiful score illuminated by empathy and humor.
To engage our community in dialogue about this current topic, San Diego Opera is please to present Transgender Visibility in the Arts. In this community panel discussion, San Diego Opera’s General Director David Bennett will join Diversionary Theatre's Executive Artistic Director Matt M. Morrow, and a special guest from the transgender community, as they explore transgender visibility in opera and theatre, and the important issues this visibility addresses. There will be an audience Q&A session as well. Pre-reception catered by Plumeria Vegetarian Restaurant with wine and beer from San Diego Opera’s beer sponsor, Modern Times.
