The Butterfly Process: The Impact on AAPI Artists & Audiences
Tuesday, February 8, 2022 at 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM EST
Virtual Free
RSVP: https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/
An opportunity for community learning and dialogue, The Impact on Artists & Audiences as part of The Butterfly Process by Boston Lyric Opera centers the experience of opera artists and explores the complex, sometimes conflicting relationship many have to Madama Butterfly, both as a gateway to opera and a work that has typecast many AAPI singers. Artists will explore ways in which opera productions can be more inclusive and multicultural.
Phil Chan will lead the conversation with Featured Speakers Eiji Miura, Melanie Bacaling, Todd McNeel, and Wynne Wan-Yee Szeto to contextualize these themes and frame a community discussion.
