Photo by Stephanie Sinclair @stephsinclairpix // Portrait of Johnathan Lee Iverson @bigtopvoice, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus’ first African American ringmaster. Originally trained as an opera singer, Iverson is now using his powerful voice to lead the artistic direction of @OperaDelSol, a production company whose mission is to change the way people experience opera, creating curated conceptual productions in unexpected places around Florida’s Orange and Brevard counties. After 18 years traveling and raising children on a circus train, Iverson is ready to hang his big top hat up. "Life literally came full circle in a most fantastic way. I began my endeavor into entertainment in the fields of opera and classical music. But when The Greatest Show On Earth came calling, how could I say 'no?' Now, barely two months after our final show, I've been asked to venture into a most exciting new endeavor. We’re taking opera to a multigenerational, multiethnic audience. It's going to be the evolutionary leap the performing arts has been craving."
