“At Opera Naples not only did I add two new roles to my repertoire working with one of the best conductors in our business, but I had so many opportunities to try new repertoire in coaching and in concert. I also enjoyed meaningful opportunities engaging with the community, and all while enjoying south Florida in the winter! My time at Opera Naples was formative and fun.”         -  Megan Moore, former Opera Naples Resident Artist
