Not THAT D.C.

Opera On Tap

As Carla Rountree puts it, "You don't ever just walk into a bar and think, 'I wonder if someone's singing Puccini up in here.'" But, that's exactly what you might find at Wonderland Ballroom and other bars around D.C. thanks to Opera on Tap. The group seeks to bring opera back to the people with free shows that entertain and also give vocalists to a chance to try out new musical styles.

The career change has given him more fulfillment and satisfaction than he ever imagined. Music: WAVES by Whalitzer (ROAM)
