Opera Noir is a black opera company based in Los Angeles, founded and directed by J. Rosalynn Smith-Clark. The group draws its talent primarly from the L.A. Opera, the Diana Ross Band, Herbie Hancock's Percussionist-Munyungo Jackson, and a slew of New York's Broadway stars including Grammy Winner-BJ Crosby and the incredible T.C. Carson.
