the story behind dbp
Das Blümelein Project is a collaborative artsorganizatoin based in Dallas, Texas and created by classical musicians, Bethany Mamola and Agostina Migoni. Dr. Mamola and Ms. Migoni met in music school almost a decade ago and have since founded DBP, an organization created by artists to support artists. Both women strayed from the limited, traditional career options for opera singers and created their own path, one that gives them and other artists an avenue to create.
Das Blümelein Project creates musical storytelling productions that break the barriers of accessibility, foreign language, elitism, and cultural misrepresentation associated with opera and classical music in order to highlight the beauty of this valued repertoire. DBP pushes the boundaries of traditional performance practices by touring and producing our shows in intimate settings, therefore allowing for a greater, and more diverse audience. We collaborate with creatives across a wide spectrum of mediums including but not limited to sculpture, textile, painting, photography, video production, music, dance, acting, and the culinary arts. By ditching the ego found in traditional production settings and balancing our expertise with experimentation, DBP enables curiosity and creativity, further supporting the mission for cultural innovation and creative thinking through artistic collaboration and education.
Since its inception, Das Blümelein Project has been chosen to participate in AT&T Performing Art Center's Elevator Project season, and have been the recipients of the Breckenridge Creative Artist Residency in Colorado, and the TX Studio Artist Residency in Dallas, Texas. The project has been a collaborator with the National Repertory Orchestra and has participated in the Cherry on Top Creatives Festival in Marfa, Texas. DBP regularly tours throughout the United States and has been invited to perform and speak at a number of universities.
