Creating Connection, Challenging Convention
A pleasure to meet you! We are Journey North Opera - a women- and queer- led, Twin Cities based opera company operating as a 501c3 non-profit organization, and striving to close the gender-parity gap in opera (among other things).
We are back with more high-class sass for you with our acclaimed OperaTease series!
Journey North Opera Company and Dancing Cow Productions present:
OperaTease: Cadenzas & Curves!*
Experience the powerful voices of Journey North Opera as stunning arias are brought to life through burlesque, dance, circus, and cabaret. Each piece is a unique collaboration between opera singers and variety performers — blending high art with a little mischief.
If you like big voices, dramatic flair, beautiful costumes, and just the right amount of tease, this show is for you.
