Opera? Cool? Always. "We’ve curated an inclusive, warm, and welcoming experience. It’s the most social arts experience you’ll find in St. Louis this summer." Anh Le, director of marketing and public relations at @OTSL. @stlmag #STLMade stlmag.com/branded-content/w…

When did Opera Theatre of Saint Louis become so cool?

When one thinks of summertime in St. Louis, the opera might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Maybe it should, though. After all, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis defies the stuffy stereotypes...
