Tomb Guards never forget.”

#RepresentationMatters is a platform that builds on Opera Orlando’s already strong community focus and pledge to meet and condemn violence with music and acceptance for all. This ethos drove the 2016 One Voice Orlando concert, which was a benefit for the LGBTQ+ and LatinX communities in response to the Pulse shootings. With #RepresentationMatters, Opera Orlando continues its efforts to give a platform for these communities as well as expanding and providing a platform for our BIPOC community to hold interviews, panel discussions, and reflections.
