Hailed for creating diverse, timely and relevant opera-theater, White Snake Projects (WSP) hosts the third installment of Let’s Celebrate!, an annual performance presenting brand-new 20-minute operas that celebrate the diversity of Boston’s community. The rhythms, melodies and stories of cultures from across the globe comes alive January 10-11, 2026, at the South End’s BCA Plaza Theatre. Performed by four of Boston’s leading opera singers, this special event showcases an array of multicultural festivities and traditions through music — from Mexico’s Black Christ at Chalma, and Uzbekistan’s Navruz, a national holiday celebrating the new year and new life, to Spain’s La Tomatina, a tomato throwing festival.

Members of the community gather together for the common and joyful enterprise of making music for their own pleasure, singing through the great works in choral literature with chorus, orchestra, and soloists as the works require. There are no separate rehearsals and no auditions. Walk-in singers and listen-only guests are welcome at all sessions. Conductors may do some light preparation with the chorus before the sing-through. Orchestra members participate by invitation, based on the instrumental needs of the work. Light refreshments are available during the break and participants are encouraged to mingle and socialize. For further information email musical.amateurs@gmail.com
