More about BLO’s Street Stage

With a custom exterior designed and painted by teen artists employed at Artists For Humanity, and mentored by co-founders Jason Talbot and Rob “ProBlak” Gibbs, BLO Street Stage has mobilized to bring live, in-person opera performances – safely – across eastern Massachusetts. Each performance will feature one BLO singer and one BLO pianist presenting a variety of beautiful opera music and will last approximately 20 minutes.

operALIVE brings outdoor performances safely to our audiences around the Greater Boston area. These in-person performances will be guided by recommendations from BLO’s Health Task Force for Opera Artists. Led by MGH-affiliated BLO physician Dr. Susan Bennett, the Task Force includes high-profile medical experts in epidemiology, pulmonology, biology, sports medicine and infectious disease control, as well as BLO singers and musicians.
