| | Last Friday, in lieu of a Cocktial Concert, we dedicated our digital platform to "Voices IN Solidarity," a live-streamed event featuring a diverse group of IN Series performers sharing from their hearts: songs, poems, refrains of love, anger, remorse, sorrow, and justice-seeking in support of our Black neighbors and joining the fight for justice, equality, and the end of systemic racism. The concert ended with a virtual choir like you've never seen - fifteen IN Series singers supporting the inimitable Marian Anderson in a recording from her groundbreaking Lincoln Memorial performance. We hope you'll take a moment to enjoy this clip and explore the complete concert, as we seek to amplify the voices crying for change and provide a space for expression, healing and hope while we gather strength for the work ahead. | | Order Father's Day OPERAgrams by June 13th! | | | | OPERAgrams orders have generated over $3,000 to support our family of artists at this challenging time.

"As horrible as the pandemic has been, it has also invited 'the opportunity for self-examination and reinvention,' Nelson says. 'And if there's anything that needs a lot of self-examination and reinvention, it's opera.' Furthermore, a small organization such as the In Series might be ideally positioned to "use this opportunity to do something that could help reinvent the art form in a way it's needed for a long time."

They talk about opera singers, opera productions, opera repertoire and opera gossip... all with the mania, insight and stats of sports fans.
Last week, the show featured an interview with our Timothy Nelson, who discussed his plans for the Virtual Opera House, the opportunity presented by going digital, and the work social justice in opera. | | The Industry Presents Sweet Land Stream from Home
You can now stream the latest production from LA's experimental opera company, The Industry. Watch the video version of Sweet Land, a performance that disrupts the dominant narrative of American identity.
| | | IN Series is the standard-bearer for innovative opera theater in Washington DC. Working with local artists and diverse communities worldwide to create novel works grounded in opera and song, we challenge and reimagine these forms, folding in an expanding range of aesthetic and cultural traditions. Assuming leadership from Carla Hübner, who founded the company in 1982, Timothy Nelson became Artistic Director in 2018, quickly establishing the newly rebranded "IN Series" as DC's home for "Thought, debate, history, and innovation" (DC Metro Theatre Arts) in opera. | | | | | | |
