Please Support LELAND & SILAS - A New Queer Opera
We are bringing LELAND & SILAS to life—a powerful, heart-wrenching, and deeply affirming new opera by bReAd, premiering May 2025 at Chinkapin Craftstead in Woodbury, Tennessee.
A decade in the making, Leland & Silas tells the story of an unexpected love between star athlete Leland and ballet dancer Silas—two young men navigating the joys and perils of coming out in a world that doesn’t always understand. Their journey speaks to the heart of queer resilience, love, and self-discovery.
While we have partial funding from our incredible producing partners at Chinkapin, we need your help to raise $15,000 to cover essential costs like artist stipends, production expenses, and travel.
Every donation brings us closer to making this opera an unforgettable experience for audiences and a milestone for queer storytelling in the classical world.
Join us in making LELAND & SILAS a reality—every dollar, share, and word of support matters. Thank you for believing in queer art and the power of opera to change lives!
