Production Description

This production of Carousel represents a “grand” and rare performance opportunity featuring full sets, costumes, ballet, chorus, and accompanied by the full OperaSLO Grand Orchestra approximately (40-person ensemble). Production states: "Opera plays an important role as the genre of classical music responsible for uniting more art forms together, on one stage, than any other form of performance art. We acknowledge our genre of performance is often experienced by thousands in a single production, which imposes a greater responsibility and push to enact positive change through our work, practices, educational programs and policies. Opera San Luis Obispo is committed to fair and equitable hiring practices companywide. We do not support, sponsor, author, or advocate programs or events that benefit any single group, at the exclusion of others. Working at Opera San Luis Obispo is based on an individual’s professional skill, and legal right to work in the State of California. We do not discriminate based on race, sex, or nationality. Opera San Luis Obispo is welcoming to all. We make these commitments to you and to ourselves, and we hope our artists, audiences, and colleagues will hold us accountable."
