Join us on January 29 at the VPL Central Library for Opera Adventures: Flight! Hosted by Nicholas Burns, this engaging evening dives into Jonathan Dove's celebrated opera Flight, a poignant, comedic, and deeply human story inspired by the true tale of an Iranian refugee who lived in an airport for 18 years. With a vibrant score and unforgettable characters, Flight explores themes of connection, love, and longing, set in the liminal space of an airport terminal.

Featuring Vancouver Opera's Yulanda M. Faris Young Artists—soprano Heidi Duncan, mezzo-soprano Simran Claire, tenor Lyndon Ladeur, baritone Danlie Rae Acebuque, and pianist Derek Stanyer.—this free event offers captivating performances, insights, and a behind-the-scenes look at this modern operatic gem. Perfect for newcomers and opera lovers alike!
