What is BCO's mission?
We want to create opera that's fun, interesting, and approachable to our local community, while providing valuable performance opportunities to young artists. We also partner with other nonprofits and community groups for educational outreach projects.
BCO stands with BLM
We stand with people all over the world who are speaking out against racism and police brutality, and most importantly, we stand with the Black community at IU, in Bloomington, and all over the US. We affirm that Black Lives Matter. As we carry this art form forward, we are committed to eliminating racism within the genre and implementing antiracist practices within our own organization.
