BayOp is committed to making opera accessible through pop culture. How BayOp Started:

It started with Ewa, Nicole, Carmelo, and Carmello. Four singers who met and became friends performing in The Merry Widow at Lyric Theatre of San Jose who shared the belief that opera should be fun, interesting, and accessible. They asked themselves, how do we prove to a modern audience that opera is cool? Ewa h

as a passion for classical era opera, as well as the intimate setting of chamber opera and thought that Haydn's "Lo Speziale" would be a perfect opera to perform with her friends. After much thought, they all agreed the story of an apothecary could be perfectly conceptualized as a modern day drug dealer struggling with his apprentice and his competition. With the inaugural production chosen, they applied for Dragon Theatre's Second Stages grant. Fortunately Dragon Theatre took a chance on an opera, and understood the vision of a drug dealer singing in Italian while cooking m**h. Within a summer the group was founded and received their first grant, proving in part that the world is ready for opera that is as cool as the music is beautiful.
