White Snake Projects is an entrepreneurial startup whose mission is the creation of original opera of the highest production values combined with social activism. Like our namesake, the legendary White Snake demon who becomes human to live intensely, we transform present day experiences into new opera made in America. Founded by iconoclasts, Charles & Cerise Jacobs, Cerise has continued the mission of the White Snake after Charles' death by investing in American composers musically adept at telling myth-based stories living in our collective imaginations. Part of our credo of social activism is to make our art accessible to all. We open our doors to one and all by committing one-third of all seats to diverse and underserved communities.
