LA Opera is honoring and showcasing the invaluable contributions of Black artists and individuals to the opera world all February long. And while we look around at all the doers and shakers in classical music, we’re taking a moment to spotlight some of our own staff who keep the opera wheels turning right here in Los Angeles.

Aside from being a bubbly beam of light around the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Shawnet is our First Assistant Treasurer in the box office (and one of our most longstanding employees). Since we have the absolute pleasure of working with and knowing Shawnet, it’s only fair that you all do too. Get to know her a bit more here.
