Ethnic Diversity in Opera

Alison Garwood-Jones February 24, 2017

Today on Willful, it's high time we talked about:
• Not being burdened by, “But that’s the way it’s always been done”
• How naivété is the creative entrepreneur’s friend
• Pushing for ethnic diversity in opera: “That’s a really white cast. Let’s fix that!”

Guests Rachel Krehm and Aria Umezawa are the founders and directors of Opera 5 (opera5.ca), an independent opera company in Toronto that’s hooking a #diverse generation with its immersive live productions and YouTube high jinks.

Willful is the web series that tracks how artists and creative entrepreneurs work, thrive and survive. We interview one artist a week, then post five three-minute snack films from that interview on YouTube every day.

Follow us here or on our YouTube Channel and Facebook Page for our entire archive of inspiring interviews.

Thank you, Greg Garson, for your enthusiasm and #CanDo attitude and for allowing us to shoot at The Merchant Taps & Tavern.
