Our Mission
John Fowler and Marie-Claire O'Reirdan created Opera Experience Southeast, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, from a profound desire to nurture and promote emerging American-educated operatic talent. During past decades there were more opportunities to hone key components of the production and performance process than exist today. All too often aspiring young professionals hear the comment: "we love what you do...come back when you have more experience."
Opera Experience Southeast was founded to address that need.
