Lecture

Opera in Conversation is a series of three sessions surrounding Opera Omaha mainstage productions that features creatives, scholars, and other public figures. These FREE events exist to foster cross-disciplinary exploration of art, big questions, and community connections.

The conference will address intersections between race, religion, and social justice across different sectors of society; we invite multi-sector approaches — nonprofit and civic leaders, diversity, equity, access, and inclusion (DEAI) practitioners, community members, educators, health and mental health practitioners, artists, religious communities, and scholars. This year's theme is Fueling The Work.

Art history, power, money and mystery converge in the story of a painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci that was hidden away in Omaha for decades.

Scale Omaha, powered by the Nebraska Startup Academy, is proud to host Paul Smith, Founding Principal of Paul G Smith Associates and co-founder of energy giant Tenaska, for an inside look at building world-class companies and reinvesting those wins back into Omaha’s urban core.
