JOIN ROGUE MUSIC PROJECT ON THURSDAY, MAY 1ST FOR SEASON LAUNCH PARTY
FROM 6:30 TO 8:00PM AT MAGPIE CAFE
Come celebrate the Big Day of Giving and the launch of our season and exciting 10-Op series at one of our favorite spots, Magpie Cafe. Join us for drinks, bites, and a sneak peak from our upcoming 10-Ops!
10-Op is a bold reimagining of opera—ten operas, each just ten minutes long, performed in unexpected spaces throughout the community. Featuring five original compositions from new voices alongside five reimagined existing works, this series breaks opera free from tradition, showcasing diverse creatives and fresh perspectives in an innovative, accessible format.
RMP's first 10-Op production is Greed by Jonathan Dove, a six minute opera that premiered in 1993 and includes four singers, a string quartet, and a pianist.
Rogue Music Project (RMP) is a collective specializing in opera and classical music on the fringe. RMP creates adventurous productions that push artistic boundaries and break genre rules in order to reinvigorate the concert and theater-going experience. It’s RMP’s mission to entertain and enlighten audiences — creating an atmosphere of music, art, and fellowship.
Our production of "Greed" will take place on Saturday, May 10th at the WAL Public Market Gallery. There will be 8 performances from the hours of 12:00-4:00pm.

At Rogue Arts and Media, we believe in the transformative power of artistic expression as a cornerstone of human understanding and progress. We celebrate the arts as a vital means of communication, exploration, and connection, and we are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable creative community where diversity is not only acknowledged but cherished.
The arts have the unique ability to reflect the breadth of human experience and to challenge historical and systemic inequities. At Rogue Arts and Media, we affirm the dignity inherent in all individuals and recognize the importance of cultivating a climate of equality and justice. We are committed to amplifying voices that have been historically marginalized and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to create, share, and be represented in the artistic landscape.
Our work is guided by the belief that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are essential to the vibrancy of the arts. We confront and reject all manifestations of discrimination -- whether based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, socioeconomic status, nationality, religious, or political beliefs, or any other dimension of difference. These differences enhance our shared creative journey, and we are dedicated to fostering a space where all voices are heard, respected, and celebrated.
At Rogue Arts and Media, we recognize that creativity thrives in a culture of mutual respect and care. Together we strive to build an artistic community that values collaboration, understanding, and the boundless potential of human expression. Through this commitment, we honor the enduring power of the arts to inspire, heal, and unite.
