Reimagining Opera
One of our goals at Ozark Family Opera Company is to "reimagine opera." So what does that mean anyway?
Reimagining opera can be anything from engaging staging that pulls the singers out into the audience, to updating the time period of the opera, to presenting a traditional Mozart opera as a reality show! In reimagining opera, the director plays a balancing act between presenting opera "with a twist" and twisting the opera into an unrecognizable mess. The goal is always to engage and delight the audience, while remaining true to the work.
