The opera field is facing the challenges of presenting “problematic” works with respectful representation. The Dallas Opera is not exempt. Stephanie Drenka, Nicholas Phan, and Zuly Inirio kick off the new TDO Connections™ series with an honest and open conversation about representation, the impact of casting decisions, and correcting harmful practices in the opera field. This conversation is in partnership with Dallas Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation, Asian Opera Alliance, and the Black Opera Alliance, hosted by Quodesia D. Johnson of Taking the Stage with Kristian and Quo.
