AAPI Heritage Month
In the world of opera, the contributions of Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are extraordinary and unmistakable. During the month of May, Austin Opera will celebrate and showcase AAPI artists and creators that are near-and-dear to us through our Live from Indy Terrace episodic series.
When we break from regular broadcasts for the summer months, our sincere hope is our community will continue to enjoy these episodes, and be compelled to stand against racism, xenophobia, and hate in all forms in our community and beyond.
Thank you for watching!
