Florida Grand Opera has announced a unique new concert season.

“We are breaking out of the box and exploring a lot of new things,” says Director of Artistic Operations Matt Cooksey said in an official press statement. “Even though we have great traditional operas at the big houses, this season is about challenging ourselves to prepare innovative vocal concerts in South Florida that celebrate the diverse cultural makeup in our community and create the next wave of opera fans.”
