Cincinnati Opera Young Professionals (COYP) welcome you to this kickoff event for the 2025 Summer Festival in partnership with Freeman’s | Hindman. Young professionals and arts lovers of all ages are invited to celebrate like a true diva—with drinks, light bites, luxurious accessories, and, of course, dazzling opera arias.
This year, we’re embracing sustainable luxury, highlighting how timeless artistry—whether in opera, heirloom treasures, or preserved spaces—can be reimagined and woven into everyday life. Admission includes drinks, light bites, and more.
What is a diva? Originally derived from the Latin word for ‘goddess,’ the term ‘diva’ was once reserved for celebrated opera singers. Though it has historically carried connotations of arrogance, modern icons like Beyoncé and Dolly Parton have reclaimed it as a badge of confidence and self-celebration. At this event, you’ll discover the legendary divas of Cincinnati Opera’s 2025 season, while embracing your own diva energy—whether that means bold fashion, fearless artistry, or simply living life on your own terms.
