What if the future of opera wasn’t something we waited for, but something we created?

Cincinnati Opera Young Professionals (COYP) invite you to Bacchanal: FUTUREGLOW—a party where music, fashion, and art collide in a radiant expression of creativity and community, raising funds in support of Cincinnati Opera’s 2026 Summer Festival.

This year, we are celebrating the light we choose to create: the spark within us all that shapes the world we imagine. Inspired by the groundbreaking new opera, Lalovavi, experience an immersive fashion show featuring Afrofuturist designers and other visionary artists presented by Me by Lee, along with live performances by Cincinnati Opera artists and Lalovavi librettist and spoken word artist Tifara Brown, and of course, plenty of dancing.

This isn’t just another party — it’s a movement that proves opera isn’t stuck in the past. It’s beaming forward, and with you, its future glows even brighter.

Admission for 21+ only.
