Dear all,
Many of you will have received this from the VO, but if you have missed the news, the Vancouver Opera Festival this year has a “White Nights” theme and includes two operas based on 19th-century lit - the famous Eugene Onegin from Tchaikovsky and a new adaptation by a Toronto company of The Overcoat - as well as several other Russian music events. Their circular is below - the links will take you to more info.
All best wishes,
Katia
