Expansive2022

A showcase of transgender & agender classical artists

Featuring Breanna Sinclairé – Soprano, Rahzé Cheatham – Baritone & Reuben Zellman – Countertenor with host Afrika America.

Bringing something different to Pride month in 2022, The Transgender District & Opera Paralléle assembled an exciting line-up of classical singers to showcase their artistry. This event is part of a new partnership between the two organizations designed to create more opportunities for emerging transgender or gender expansive performers. Get to know each of these three compelling artists as they share their stories and talents. Performers were accompanied by OP’s Resident Pianist Keisuke Nakagoshi.

‘Expansive’ serves as an invitation from The Transgender District to join them in their place, an area of great cultural and historical significance for the trans community.
