ABOUT THE EVENT
Join the YST Voice Department for an evening of scenes and arias from operas written by some of America’s most talented opera composers. Directed by Cherilyn Woo, these scenes will transport you from the bleak winter landscape of northern Europe to the mountains of Tennessee, in and out of parlours and small towns in the US, until finally coming to rest on a farm somewhere in the mid-west.
