Outside-the-(Theater)-Box Programs Offer Familiar Starting Points for New Opera Delaware Leadership

Fay Fox

A Tempo Saturday (5/16 at 7 pm) features a conversation with the incoming General Director of Opera Delaware.

Opera Delaware’s Pop-up Opera Initiative, which has visited schools, parks, museums, and even a brewery, and its Company Artist program, which provides full-time employment for opera artists early in their career, were just two aspects of the company that attracted Eric Einhorn to become its next General Director. As co-founder and former artistic director of On-Site Opera in New York, he had helped bring opera to unusual venues to engage with a diverse cross-section of audiences.

A Tempo Host Rachel Katz chats with Einhorn, who starts his new role Aug. 1, about the possiblities of expanding upon Opera Delaware's existing strengths and programs.

Rachel Katz is the host of A Tempo which airs Saturdays at 7 pm.
