About Me

Afro Opera LLC was created by a classically trained vocalist who believes in the power of merging opera with cultural storytelling. With roots grounded in African American History and a passion for vocal excellence, she uses her voice to honor legacy while bringing a fresh, modern expression to traditional opera.

Founded in 2017 by St. Petersburg, Florida native, and professional opera singer Maiya Stevenson Afro Opera LLC stands as a shining beacon of inclusivity and innovation in classical music.

What began as a college senior recital title, inspired by a dream, has grown into a cultural movement dedicated to celebrating diversity in the classical arts.

The Company’s mission is Clear:

To honor the rich diversity of classical music by showcasing works from underrepresented composers and blending powerful storytelling with captivating performances that inspire audiences from all walks of life.

Enforce the culture as a leading cultural ambassador for inclusivity in classical music, providing transformative performances and educational opportunities that connect communities to the universal beauty of music.
