Imagine sitting on the SunRail, minding your own business, on your way to or from work or a meeting, and spontaneous opera erupts beside you! Imagine the feeling of awe to feel this powerful voice beside you that feels like it may just blow the roof off of the SunRail train and how excited and delighted you would feel. That is what we would like for you to experience with our Pop Up Opera! We are requesting funds to produce this experience for SunRail riders in the month of March.

In March 2025, Timucua Arts Foundation will be hosting our very first Opera Festival in collaboration with Bravo Chamber Orchestra, Musical Traditions, VoxO, Central Florida Vocal Arts, Helena Collective, Opera Orlando and Keri Lee Pierson/Chanji Kim. Along with our collaborators, we will be exposing the Central Florida community to opera cohesively throughout the month of March. We are proud to announce that Keri Lee Pierson’s opera is a world premiere!
