This exciting performance is set to take place on April 7th, 2025, at 7 PM in the beautiful Statesboro First United Methodist Church, conveniently located on South Main Street.
Founded just seven years ago in Savannah, Georgia, the Moon River Opera has made a name for itself by striving to make opera fun and approachable for everyone. With an inventive motto like “making opera fun again,” it’s no wonder that this company has garnered attention and admiration in the arts community. Artistic Director Brenna Dudley, who is also a proud graduate of Georgia Southern with a degree in vocal performance, has played a vital role in shaping the company’s unique style and offerings.
One of the most refreshing aspects of Moon River Opera is its diverse range of performances. From themed recitals and improv opera to site-specific events and even a quirky “drunk opera,” there’s something for everyone! During these fun-filled performances, audience members and performers can enjoy singing while sipping on drinks, all while staying safe and respecting regulations.
In a bold move to break down the traditional stereotypes associated with opera, Moon River Opera focuses on creating a welcoming environment for modern audiences. The company is dedicated to showing that opera can be just as enjoyable, lively, and relatable as other forms of art. This vision is evident in their site-specific performances, where talented singers share their art in one-of-a-kind locations around Savannah—think mesmerizing melodies wafting through a historic mansion or enchanting gardens, giving a new twist to the classical experience.
Thanks to their time at Georgia Southern, many performers in the company have found a supportive musical community that is deeply rooted in the Statesboro area. Dudley has expressed that the foundation they built at the university has been integral to the success of Moon River Opera, ushering in a vibrant arts scene for both performers and audiences.
Moon River Opera is not just about putting on a show; they also prioritize interacting with the local community. The organization prides itself on treating its performers well and emphasizes the importance of building connections with the audience. That’s why they are thrilled to announce that the upcoming performance in Statesboro will be free to the public. Donations will be accepted, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the magic of opera without breaking the bank!
