Show Credits
'Arias of Seduction' was Operatika's first ever live event, a labor of love, that brought two seemingly diverse art forms—opera and pole dance—to one stage.
​
The production wouldn't have been possible without the support and trust of our collaborators. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
