About The Company:
At Arc Benders, we believe that classical music is too important to be confined solely to major opera houses and concert halls. We breathe new meaning into revered masterworks by adding aerial acrobatics and inviting audience participation. We want our audiences to experience opera with their hearts, their souls and their bodies. We delight in developing innovative interpretations of beloved classical music. We strive to inspire wonder, delight and awe.
