    I have just now set up at the bloggers table for Vancouver Opera’s opening night of Lucia di Lammermoor. I have to admit that I was following the Opera Ninja on Twitter the other night so I consider myself forewarned – this is not a happy love story. Wow. A guy just walked by and…

  • Part III of Vancouver Opera’s Lillian Alling

    First off, NO SPOILERS here. None. But, I can and will say that I did not see the twists and turns coming. This opera, more than any other opera, perhaps because it is the world premiere, but this opera, had me literally on the edge of my seat right until the curtain dropped for the…

  • Part II of the World Premiere of Vancouver Opera’s Lillian Alling

    Intermission for the opera…no spoilers from me, just let me say that the production is fabulous.

  • Photos from the Vancouver Opera Madama Butterfly

    Although the Vancouver Opera performance of Madama Butterfly is now over, I finally found the pictures of the stage and the backstage area that I took during the backstage tour that the VO was kind enough to invite me along on. The first shot here is of the stage from what I believe to be…

  • Follow-up to our Night at the Opera; Madama Butterfly
