Founded by soprano Laura Isabella, Redivivus Opera sums up its mission as “opera for community and community for opera,” and is committed to working with singers and other opera professionals often overlooked in the field. Its upcoming production of Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta Aug. 7 and 9 in Princeton, NJ features Kathy Ball Meagher, who is visually impaired, in the title role. Redivivus will also hold a Q&A forum on Disability and Opera Aug. 3.
A Tempo host Rachel Katz chats with Isabella and Meagher, along with Managing Director Katie Elliott and Music Director Brit Montoro, to talk about the company, its upcoming events, and making opera authentic and accessible to both performers and audiences.
