Mési Boku to our Sponsors and Partners!

Heading 6

"OperaCréole brilliantly reclaims the almost forgotten works of nineteenth-century composers of African descent, sharing their artistry with local, national, and international audiences. I thank them for bringing a hidden history to life in a way no other medium can touch. Their stories of Black resistance and achievement help us imagine and shape a more just future. Brava!"

– Mark Charles Roudané,
author of The New Orleans Tribune: An Introduction to America's First Black Daily Newspaper
