Opera Talks featured in Long Island's Newsday

Tanisha poses after her Halloween at the Opera program at Huntington Public Library in October

Mitchell said she is thrilled to be able to share her love of opera, which she called “otherworldly.” It’s special, she added, because it is “a combination of all the arts . . . these characters are relatable but also larger than life.”

Tanisha Mitchell's opera programs are featured in Long Island's premiere newspaper, Newsday

When I received the email asking to be interviewed in Long Island’s Newsday, I was thrilled. Barbara Schuler wrote an excellent article about the speaker route in libraries and how we all offer special topics that cater to popular and niche audiences. Along with 2 fantastic speakers: Clive Young and Marc Courtade. I was interviewed about my love for opera and how I created Opera Talks. When I look back on creating this platform in 2015, I never would have imagined how it would grow from being presented throughout the East Coast to begin featured in Library Journal and now Newsday. Read and enjoy!
