Episode Notes

Welcome to Harbour for the Arts! Where opera, the performing, and creative arts, meet lifestyle". When was the last time you played? I'm talking about summer camp or recess played? As a classical singer, there is so much value in being creative through your craft. Today I am talking to Bert Menninga. He is not a performer, but more a lover of the arts! 

While watching his TikToks I started asking myself one question, where do opera and creativity merge?  I did some research and was intrigued by Rober Foster's research about creativity. I decided to take that a step further and asked my guest about how he took the concept of opera a step further by creating a very innovative platform designed with just paper and pen. He creates 10-second vignettes about opera, art songs, and orchestral works. 

I hope you enjoy it.
