This 2024 curation presented a first of its kind open-air opera performance to a sold-out audience of over 400 guests in Newport Coast, CA at the Resort at Pelican Hill’s Coliseum Pool. The circular design, water and architecture create near-flawless natural acoustics and amplification. The program highlighted top-tier international and Grammy® award-winning opera talent as these artists effortlessly floated, sang, splashed, and created art within and around the pool throughout the production.
