Mission

White snake projects is an activist opera company dedicated to creating original opera of the highest production values combined with a social conscience. Its mission is to uplift the voices of historically marginalized communities and be a platform for composers and writers who may otherwise never be heard.founded by iconoclasts charles and cerise jacobs, the company has continued the mission of the white snake under cerise's guidance following charles's death, investing in american composers adept at telling the myth-based stories that live in our collective imaginations through music. As a socially active organization, white snake projects believes in making art accessible to all, and commits to providing free tickets to anyone who cannot afford one.
