Showcasing the talent of performing artists in DC, The In Series offers a unique blend of accessible and affordable chamber opera, Spanish Zarzuela (light opera), cabaret, and dance. Creating intimate environments in which to experience the arts, its "pocket-opera" programs present newly commissioned productions in English – and in Spanish for an ever-growing Latino population – and emphasize their relevance. Sharing music as a personal experience, telling stories of universal appeal in small chamber settings, and focusing on their human essence – all these open doors to new cultural connections for audience members. Free outreach events include kid-friendly introductions to opera, directors' salons with open rehearsals, and performances at assisted living centers. Now in its 36th season, and its ninth at Source, The In Series provides career-building jobs for 300+ artists and crew annually and welcomes audiences of over 6000+. Are you In?
