We offer both auditioned and non-auditioned, affordable, and integrative programs, ensuring aspiring Minnesota singers can access professional training, hone their craft, and connect with other opera artists and audiences. Opera Reading Project (ORP) provides financially accessible, professional-quality arts education experiences for Minnesotans to engage in opera and the vocal arts. ORP's goals are to provide a place where (1) The generosity of the artistic experience is shared with all; (2) Storytelling is enlivened through music and (3) Resilience is built through and beyond the creative process. To further our mission in our FY 2025 season, we presented 2 of our standard opera reading programs with public performances, engaging and educating 24 artists and 50-100 attendees per reading; these opera readings were Transformations (Susa) and a double-bill presentation of Alice Tierney (Dunphy) and Pagliacci (Puccini). We additionally presented two special public performance programs: one reading of an in-development opera by Jorge Sosa and John De Los Santos, entitled Ofrenda, which served as the opera's official piano-vocal workshop and engaged 5 additional artists and an audience of 50; and VOXSPEX, a genre fusion project developed by ORP's Music Director Lara Bolton and featuring both local artists and special guests, designed to challenge and enhance the audience's understanding of what the experience of opera music can be. Alongside our public performance opportunities, we presented two community music education classes that were completely free to attend, with the goal of making the craft of opera and the vocal arts approachable and informative for our community; our featured topics this season were The Art of Better Practice and The Integrated Singing Actor. Both our opera readings and community music education classes included outreach activities for youth and the elderly with our various community partners including Neighborhood House, El Rio Vista Recreation Center, and the Carondelet Village Retirement Community. 54000 45842 45842 Colleen O'Shaughnessy Pollack Board President 2 0 0 0 Joseph O'Shaughnessy Board Treaurer 1 0 0 0 Julie Taylor Bardon Board Secretary 1 0 0 0 Lara Bolton Director 1 0 0 0 Eric McEnaney Director 1 0 0 0 Victoria Vargas Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN Colleen O'Shaughnessy Pollack 1999 Jeffereson Ave West St Paul MN 55105 6172902529 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 44206 61990 106196 8157 10888 19045 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 52363 72878 125241 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 125241 1 13 14 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 14 0 0 251 251 0 0 0 52364 73142 125506 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 $251 balance remaining at the end of a fiscal agency relationship that we deemed Other Income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 $251 remaining balance at the end of a fiscal relationship-other income.
