Renegade Opera strives to dismantle systems of racism, patriarchy, homophobia, ageism, ableism, sexism, and financial gatekeeping in the opera industry. Renegade Opera advocates for the fair treatment and compensation of artistic collaborators (local Portland and emerging artists) and rejects the inequitable and discriminatory practices in the opera industry. Renegade’s work addresses the financial inaccessibility of the arts for audiences and artists by implementing ethical producing practices and offering accessible performances and events to the public. The leadership of Renegade Opera represents a part of the next generation of artists bringing institutional reform to the performing arts industry.
