Make history with us at the 10th Annual Linda and Mitch Hart Institute for Women Conductors Showcase Concert. Addressing the profound gender imbalance at the helm of the world’s opera orchestras, the Hart Institute, the only program of its kind, provides training and career support to the next generation of women conductors. This special anniversary performance will feature six alumnae from the first decade of the Institute—Elizabeth Askren, Tiffany Chang, Michelle Di Russo, Barbara Dragan, Tianyi Lu, and Shira Samuels-Shragg—and a guest host. Each conductor will lead The Dallas Opera Orchestra and guest singers in excerpts from operas significant to TDO’s history.
