Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined the elements of fashion, rock music, theatre, and Amadeus Mozart? What would this very unique, and rather intriguing mashup look like, and how would that come together?
“This is a brand new event for us,” Pensacola Opera General Director Chandra McKern said. “A lot of our patrons and community members are gonna remember last year we did an event called MODA, a fashion show, at Vinyl Music Hall. This year, we knew we wanted to do some type of fashion show event. But we wanted to be clear and true to our mission while attracting new audiences.”
And what better than to return to Vinyl Music Hall for Rock the Runway.
“This biggest thing for us is after we did MODA last year, several of the folks that were there, didn’t even know that it was a Pensacola Opera event,” McKern said. “They thought it was a fashion show. So we really wanted to make sure this year that Rock the Runway was centered around the mission of our organization. So we want to keep stressing that it’s not just a fashion show. It’s more about the experience.”
