Client Spotlight: White Snake Projects — Using Opera to Ignite Climate Action
At One 8 Solutions, we’re proud to work with mission-driven clients who not only challenge the status quo, but redefine what it means to create with purpose. One such client is White Snake Projects, a visionary activist opera company based in Boston, MA, that fuses cutting-edge technology, mythic storytelling, and urgent social issues into unforgettable works of music theater.
🎭 Their latest production, White Raven, Black Dove, is no exception.
Opera Meets Activism
Set in a dystopian future where the Earth has been ravaged by climate change, White Raven, Black Dove explores themes of environmental collapse, racial division, and ultimately, the power of unity and healing. This genre-bending production merges live performance with Unreal Engine–powered animation to create an immersive sci-fi fantasy experience unlike anything else in the world of opera.
But this isn’t just a show—it’s a call to action. And right now, White Snake Projects needs our help.
A Funding Crisis—And a Moment to Step Up
In a troubling shift, the current administration’s NEA has revoked two critical grants that White Snake Projects had previously been awarded—support they’ve received nearly every year since their founding. This unprecedented move threatens the production’s ability to reach audiences beyond the stage.
In response, White Snake Projects launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a professional recording of White Raven, Black Dove so the performance can live on, be shared with backers, and inspire change across the globe.
We’re already at the halfway mark of the campaign—but the final stretch is crucial.
Why This Matters
White Snake Projects is one of the few opera companies in the country consistently tackling the most urgent issues of our time: climate justice, racial equity, immigration, voting rights, and more. They lean into activism with courage and creativity—and we believe their voice deserves to be heard.
By supporting this Kickstarter, you’re not just funding a video. You’re fueling a movement. You’re ensuring that this timely and transformative work gets seen, felt, and remembered.
