ave you ever zeroed in and focused on a chorus member during an opera and wondered what their story was? When you see children during the intermission, are you reminded of your own first theatrical experience? And what about the person sitting next to you right now? I bet if you don’t know them, you are (or will be) wondering what they think about tonight’s opera…right? New Orleans Opera (NOOA) introduces a new video series this year titled In the Wings. Produced by our very own social media expert (and chorus member) Dylan Tran, the series will tell the stories of several of our Opera family members, both on and off stage. Clips from In the Wings will be posted throughout the season on the New Orleans Opera website and social media channels. Your thoughts are welcome via email and on video. If you want to participate in the series, email social@neworleansopera.org. First up is Shirley A. Stewart. This weekend marks her 10th Carmen as a chorister and 51 years with NOOA! Here is an excerpt from her interview, which you can find in its entirety on our website.
